EE 3.5.7 introduced a fix for the non-function column width setting for grid fields (thanks for this!).

Unfortunately, I’ve discovered the width is being set improperly when adding new rows.

Pre-existing grid rows are having the width set as a percentage applied via <td width="XX%">, which I believe is the expected behaviour. However, new grid rows are getting the number applied as a pixel-based min-width.

For clarity, if I set a column’s width to “20” in the grid field options, here’s a sample output from a pre-existing row entry:

<td class="required" data-fieldtype="text" data-column-id="33" data-row-id="2361" width="20%">

…meanwhile new row entries are output as follows:



Perhaps this is a result of the front-end JS applying the inline style without properly setting it as a percentage?

Note that once you save the entry and reload the editor, the field will output as per the first example, since presumably it’s being rendered server-side.
