UI-TABLE only renders data when layout configuration is set to auto

[JorgeAlberto91MS]

Description

The UI-TABLE component only displays data when the layout configuration is set to auto.
If the layout mode is changed to any other option (e.g. manual), the table renders correctly at a structural level but no data is displayed, even though the data source is valid and unchanged.

Actual Behavior

Data is only rendered when the layout configuration is set to auto. Any other layout mode causes the table to appear empty.

Impact

This behavior limits layout customization and makes it impossible to use UI-TABLE in dashboards that require manual or fixed layout control.

Expected Behavior

The UI-TABLE component should display data regardless of the selected layout configuration, as long as the data source is valid.

Steps To Reproduce

1.	Add a UI-TABLE component.
2.	Bind it to a valid data source.
3.	Set the layout configuration to auto → data is displayed correctly.
4.	Change the layout configuration to a different mode → data is no longer shown.

This is a duplicate of #1732

There is a workaround documented in that issue.

I am going to close #1732 as your title is more descriptive of the problem.

Looking at the screenshot in #1732 it looks like in auto layout mode the table is truncated.

TBH, I am not certain what the actual behaviour should be here 🤔
I cant quite put my finger on what would be a sensible resolution!

Any thoughts guys?

I don't remember any complaints about the current behaviour when Auto is specified.

I don't remember any complaints about the current behaviour when Auto is specified.

Ah, I have misunderstood I think.

So the issue is when a size is specified (not auto) right?

Yep, I used my eyes and brain this time in a re-read!

ok, shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
