Radgrid Filter items "flashing" on screen

[Dave]

When I am enabling filtering on my RadGrids using the Q2 version it works fine, but there is an annoying "flashing" behavior where when the grid is bound or rebinds you can see the filter menu items appear on screen for a brief moment.

Everything functions properly after this, but if you edit an item or do anything else that causes the grid to rebind it will "flash" on screen again.

It's not breaking anything but it's annoying to the users.

Has anyone seen this and/or does anyone know how to avoid it?

If it matters, my grids do not have all columns enabled for filtering, only a few at the end of the grid.

Hi Dave,

The described behavior should not occur. Have you by any chance disabled your browser's cache? (I did not reproduce the issue with disabled cache, but just to make sure). What browser do you use?

If the problem persists, please send us a sample web page, so that we can reproduce and research locally. Thanks.

Hi Dimo.

In attempting to create a minimal example for you I figured it out.

I was doing this in my stylesheet:

div.RadMenu
{
     float: none;
     display: inline-block;
}

The display: inline-block; was casusing this behavior.   I am guessing this is derived from the RadMenu and it's display was supposed to be none at the point of rendering, but this was messing with it.

Thanks

Dave,

I have the same issue. What is the solution? Do I need to change the display attribute to something else? It is very annoying. I use IE8, but not all instances are flashing. It is weird.

Hello Randy,

Could you please elaborate a bit more and tell us which version of the controls do you use and a sample code that represents your main grid setup so we can get a better idea of the exact problem. In the meantime please check if a custom css is not causing the issue as discussed below.

Thank you.
