Comment 9 for bug 1778311

I've pushed a cleaned up version of the above branch here: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/khuckins/lp1778311-web-column-on-the-fly-resizing-v2

The grid now uses HTML tables, and the resize works - though not in the way that might be expected. The current behavior resizes the entire grid. It's partially compatible with saving grid configurations. Changes made by resizing on-the-fly won't save (they don't affect the columns flex, and there doesn't appear to be a way to hook a watcher up to element-level resizing), but the column width manager is no longer broken.

Adding a needsdiscussion tag, as this feels a little too experimental for a pullrequest, but definitely needs eyes on it - I'm running out of ideas on how to better handle this.
