When exporting the data from the Grid to PDF, the grid causes the UI to be distorted. Grid tries to recreate the grid and a progress bar is shown in the UI. Once pdf is generated, the grid comes back to normal before the browser save/cancel dialog is displayed. 

So what is causes this flickering and how can i change (hide) this progress bar behavior.

The Grid uses the server side side binding. So the data is already available at the browser.

 

 

Hello Jayakumar,

This is not a known issue and it was not reproduced in our testing scenario.

The loading indicator should not cause any flickering during the export:

The loading indicator for the pdf export is specific and can be hidden only with custom CSS rules, but it is not recommended as it may cause additional layout issues.

Could you please send a runnable example reproducing the issue as it may be caused by a custom factor which we are overlooking at this moment.

I will be expecting the example, and will gladly assist.

Regards,
Stefan
