Formatting Errors

I’m getting few weird formatting issues:

For example, one species of table is loading like this. My code base is fairly complicated, but here’s the crux:

table = new Handsontable(document.getElementById('table'), {
			data,
			licenseKey: 'non-commercial-and-evaluation',
			colHeaders: columnHeaders.concat(['Actions']),
			rowHeaders: function (index) {
				return data[index].id;
			},
			stretchH: 'all',
			columns,
			hiddenColumns: {
				columns: hiddenColumns
			},
			search: true,
			dropdownMenu: true,
			filters: true,
			afterChange: function (changes, source) {
				// don't save loading of data
				if (source === 'loadData') {
					return;
				}
				// in case of bulk changes
				for (let change of changes) {
					const [row, property, oldValue, value] = change;
					if (property === 'comments' && oldValue !== value) {
						document.getElementById(`${table.getRowHeader(row)}-comments-return`).value = value;
					}
				}
			}
		});

Sorry for formatting. If you’d like more detail about the values there, please let me know. Now, here’s what I get. Why’s the gap between the row header and first column there? FYI, the first column is always hidden.

Finally, this thing: why is the button appearing at the right and the cell enlarged? Code:

function actionButtons(instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
			Handsontable.renderers.TextRenderer.apply(this, arguments);
			td.innerHTML = `
				<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm p-1 mx-auto" role="group">
					${
						data[row].returned_at === 'NA'
							? `<button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-success" form="${data[row].id}-return-form">Return</button>`
							: ''
					}
					<button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-danger" form="${
						data[row].id
					}-delete-form">Delete</button>
				</div>
			`;
		}
		columns = columns
			.map(({ id }) => ({ data: id, editor: id === 'comments' && 'text' }))
			.concat({
				renderer: actionButtons,
				readOnly: true,
				className: 'htCenter'
			});

And sliding through the rows result in the row header sliding, which isn’t what I want:

Also, the default UI is not great - is there any way to improve it?

That said, I think Handsontable is an awesome and really useful piece of software! Thanks!

Hi @safwansamsudeen

Thank you for contacting us! Starting from the end, we agree with that, and that’s why we have plans to improve it in the near future.

Then for the rest. I think it would be better if you could send us a code demo representing the issue - especially the first one, as it would be easier to work on, and determine what might ba causing the issue there.
