Description Edwin Park

NatTable will automatically clip commands from being propagated down the layer stack if the command's coordinates are outside the layer's area. This is a problem in the case of trying to send commands like hide/show column to the body layer stack when there are no rows, and hence the body layer has no area.

split out from bug 379916

This is possible in the meantime by using the AbstractContextFreeCommand.

For column hide/show the HideColumnByIndexCommand can be used to hide a column that is not visible in the viewport, and the MultiColumnShowCommand can be used to show columns by index again.

I therefore close this ticket. If other commands are needed to be executed in areas outside the layer (e.g. viewport) a new ticket should be opened.
