Setting columns width to "*" causes inability to resize colu

I specified the width in all the columns of a table via the in my XML and the grid renders as expected with all columns of equal width. This is great except for that now I cannot resize the columns by dragging the vertical column separators any more as they ‘snap back’ to their original rendered size. Is there a way to disable the ‘snap back’ action and allow the user to re-size the columns?

The setting column widht as “*” means that it will be autosized all the time.
If you need to set width of column only initially and allow later resizing - you can just set initial width in percents - it allows easily create a view with columns of equal width
