[GH #2988] Deleting multi-level rows not working

I went back to check the issue I had previously created on the forum regarding row deletion. I noticed that in the current version 1.16.2, it didn’t throw any errors. However, when I tested it, the deletion didn’t work as expected.


When I try to delete the first row this happens:


Its immediate children are deleted, but the children of those children are not.

here is the demonstration: Handsontable Nested Rows Deletion Example

Thank you for sharing the issue report, @fabiomiranda0420

I replicated the issue on my device. You’re right. This is not an intended outcome - the whole (1) parent should be removed along with all of the children. There seems to be an improvement since v15.x, where besides an error, we’d end up with an unresponsive table and visual glitch; however, the issue is not fully solved.

I will report the issue internally and update you as soon as we resolve it.
