Description of problem:
The 1st column of my table scrolls away, if you scroll horizontally. fixedColumns= trues has no effect.
I have no idea what's happening and would appreciate some insight.

Hi @mbaas ,

You need to set scrollX to true to enabled DataTables' horizontal scrolling. Take a look at this example.

Thanks,

You need to enable scrollX for FixedColumns. This is from the linked page:

When making use of DataTables' x-axis scrolling feature (scrollX), you may wish to fix the left or right most columns in place.

Here is your example with scrollX enabled:

Also note that FixedHeader is not compatible with the scrolling features and thus FixedColumns:

Please note that FixedHeader is not currently compatible with tables that have the scrolling features of DataTables enabled (scrollX / scrollY). Please refer to the compatibility table for full compatibility details.
