SDK 4.10 bugs (?) for spark datagrid column resize and sort

[mo...@comcast.net]

I changed the title of this thread now that I know the issue better. 

Can someone run the small application below and let me know if you see the same thing I do? 

I'm using FB 4.7 for what it's worth.

Thanks Lee, 

I created a minimal test app to isolate the datagrid behavior I originally posted. 

Can someone confirm the problem I'm seeing by running the application attached below? 

Am I doing something wrong? 

------ please run in SDK 4.6 and 4.10 and compare results ------

The default skin for DataGrid has changed - if you're using a custom 
skin you'll need to update it. 

As it happens i only discovered this yesterday: 

In 4.9.1 and previous, the skin contained: 

<s:Grid ...> 
<s:GridLayer name="backgroundLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="selectionLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="editorIndicatorLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="rendererLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="overlayLayer"/> 
</s:Grid> 

As of 4.10.0 it is: 

<s:Grid ...> 
<s:gridView> 
<fx:Component> 
<s:GridView> 
<s:GridLayer name="backgroundLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="selectionLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="editorIndicatorLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="rendererLayer"/> 
<s:GridLayer name="overlayLayer"/> 
</s:GridView> 
</fx:Component> 
</s:gridView> 
</s:Grid>
