With IE (and to a lesser extent also in Chrome) on Kendo UI v2016.1.412, if I click on a column header then extend the selection to many contiguous columns, the selection become slower and slower as I include more columns and sometimes this causes the page to become unresponsive.
This is more evident in more complex pages than the online sample (ie with more formulas, etc).
We noticed that selection of multiple columns triggers the onRender event (which we have NOT overridden in any way in our test code) every time a new col is selected.
Maybe that could be the issue?
