Kendo Grid : Blank space in the end when you resize(reduce) any column

Question

I have a grid and when i resize (reduce) any column, there is a white space shows up in the end of the grid. I have checked with the Kendo official samples and it seems like in some samples the shown behavior is in their samples.

I tried setting up width for header, cell content etc.. but its still shows some UI issues and i have multiple grids and i need a generic fix.

If its not an issue and a behavior then somebody please have a look at this and explain how to fix it.

I have added a normal screen shot and resized screenshot.

normal

after resize

For testing it out, i have added a jsfiddle.,

According to various kendo sources, this is a mixture of observed normal behavior (2013), and unexpected behavior (2017). Kendo does provide a workaround for this issue, as I suspect it isn't necessarily kendo related but more an HTML/Table feature.

<style>
    .k-grid {
        width: 700px;
    }
</style>

<div id="grid1"></div>

<script>
    function getMasterColumnsWidth(tbl) {
        var result = 0;
        tbl.children("colgroup").find("col").not(":last").each(function (idx, element) {
            result += parseInt($(element).outerWidth() || 0, 10);
        });

        return result;
    }

    function adjustLastColumn() {
        var grid = $("#grid1").data("kendoGrid");
        var contentDiv = grid.wrapper.children(".k-grid-content");
        var masterHeaderTable = grid.thead.parent();
        var masterBodyTable = contentDiv.children("table");
        var gridDivWidth = contentDiv.width() - kendo.support.scrollbar();

        masterHeaderTable.width("");
        masterBodyTable.width("");

        var headerWidth = getMasterColumnsWidth(masterHeaderTable),
            lastHeaderColElement = grid.thead.parent().find("col").last(),
            lastDataColElement = grid.tbody.parent().children("colgroup").find("col").last(),
            delta = parseInt(gridDivWidth, 10) - parseInt(headerWidth, 10);

        if (delta > 0) {
            delta = Math.abs(delta);
            lastHeaderColElement.width(delta);
            lastDataColElement.width(delta);
        } else {
            lastHeaderColElement.width(0);
            lastDataColElement.width(0);
        }

        contentDiv.scrollLeft(contentDiv.scrollLeft() - 1);
        contentDiv.scrollLeft(contentDiv.scrollLeft() + 1);
    }


    $("#grid1").kendoGrid({
        dataSource: {
            type: "odata",
            transport: {
                read: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Employees"
            },
            pageSize: 6,
            serverPaging: true,
            serverSorting: true
        },
        height: 430,
        pageable: true,
        resizable: true,
        columnResize: adjustLastColumn,
        dataBound: adjustLastColumn,
        columns: [{
            field: "FirstName",
            title: "First Name",
            width: "100px"
        }, {
            field: "LastName",
            title: "Last Name",
            width: "150px"
        }, {
            field: "Country",
            width: "100px"
        }, {
            field: "City",
            width: "100px"
        }, {
            field: "Title",
            width: "200px"
        }, {
            template: "&nbsp;"
        }]
    });
</script>
