Custom filter entered text position is changing when inserting a column into the table

Hi,

In our application, we are using custom column filters which is taken from this link https://handsontable.com/docs/column-filter/#column-filter

The typed filter text position is getting moved to the left, when a column is inserted into the table.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Type a text in the filter box in the very first column.
  2. Now click on add, the text in filter box is moved to the newly added column.

Our requirement is to move the text to the original column where it is typed in, while we click on add button.

I have added the demo code reproducing the issue here https://jsfiddle.net/tb05aqpj/

This is actually misleading the users, Please let us know if there is a fix for this issue.

Thanks,
Karthikeyan V

Hi @kvengadachalam

The problem here is actually more complex. The demo on which your example is based wasn’t meant for any customization, such as, adding new columns. My colleague described it very well here:

So, solving this would require rebuilding the whole functionality.

I think that we can close this thread as there are no additional questions.
