Normal The javadoc for the Grid's setSpan(int) method states that the column number is 1 based, but, it is 0 based (e.g. setSpan(0) sets the extra space in column 1, setSpan(1) sets the extra space in column 2).
To test:
<vbox spacing="1em"> <grid width="400px" span="0" sizedByContent="false" > <columns sizable="true"> <column label="id" width="40px"/> <column label="name" width="100px"/> </columns> <rows> <row> <label value="span = 0"/> <label value="John Smith"/> </row> </rows> </grid> <grid width="400px" span="1" sizedByContent="false" > <columns sizable="true"> <column label="id" width="40px"/> <column label="name" width="100px"/> </columns> <rows> <row> <label value="span = 1"/> <label value="John Smith"/> </row> </rows> </grid> </vbox>
The javadoc:
/**
* Sets column span hint of this component.
* <p>String number span indicates how this component distributes remaining empty space to the
* specified column(1-based). "1" means distribute remaining empty space to the 1st column; "2" means
* distribute remaining empty space to the 2nd column, etc.. The spanning column will grow to
* fit the extra remaining space.</p>
* <p>Special span hint with "true" means span ALL columns proportionally per their
* original widths while null or "false" means NOT spanning any column.</p>
* <p>Default: null. That is, NOT span any column.</p>
* <p>Note span is meaningful only if there is remaining empty space for columns.</p>
*
* @param span the column span hint.
