Be sure your post includes:

1.SmartClient Version: v10.0p_2014-10-26/LGPL Development Only (built 2014-10-26)

2. FF 24.8.0 on Gentoo linux

3.

4.

5.

6. sample code if applicable

package pl.com.tech4.client;

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.DOM;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSource;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSourceField;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.fields.DataSourceTextField;
import com.smartgwt.client.util.SC;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGrid;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGridField;

public class MainEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {
    
    public void onModuleLoad() {

        DOM.getElementById("loadingPicture").removeFromParent();
        layout();
        SC.showConsole();
    }
    
    private void layout() {
        
        final DataSource ds = new DataSource();
        DataSourceField fieldId = new DataSourceField();
        fieldId.setName("id");
        fieldId.setPrimaryKey(true);
        fieldId.setHidden(true);
        DataSourceTextField fieldCode = new DataSourceTextField();
        fieldCode.setName("code");
        DataSourceTextField fieldDescription = new DataSourceTextField();
        fieldDescription.setName("description");
        ds.setFields(fieldId, fieldCode, fieldDescription);
        
        ListGrid lg = new ListGrid();
        ListGridField lgfDescription = new ListGridField("description");
        lgfDescription.setCanHilite(false);
        lg.setFields(lgfDescription);
        lg.setDataSource(ds);
        lg.editHilites();

        lg.draw();
    }
}

This problem has been also mentioned in this unanswered post.
Thanks,

Do not call editHilites() before draw(). This makes no sense as a UI for a real application, and happens to cause the ListGrid to start the Hilites Dialog before the listGrid fields have been looked at.

Note also: there was no bug in the linked thread, just a usage issue (see our response there for details).

Thank you for mention ListGrid.editHilites() before draw(). I did it this way just to simplify example. The corrected test case:

package pl.com.tech4.client;

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.DOM;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSource;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSourceField;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.fields.DataSourceTextField;
import com.smartgwt.client.util.SC;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.Button;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickEvent;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickHandler;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGrid;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGridField;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.layout.VLayout;

public class MainEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {
   
    public void onModuleLoad() {

        DOM.getElementById("loadingPicture").removeFromParent();
        layout();
        SC.showConsole();
    }
   
    private void layout() {
       
        final DataSource ds = new DataSource();
        DataSourceField fieldId = new DataSourceField();
        fieldId.setName("id");
        fieldId.setPrimaryKey(true);
        fieldId.setHidden(true);
        DataSourceTextField fieldCode = new DataSourceTextField();
        fieldCode.setName("code");
        DataSourceTextField fieldDescription = new DataSourceTextField();
        fieldDescription.setName("description");
        ds.setFields(fieldId, fieldCode, fieldDescription);
       
        final ListGrid lg = new ListGrid();
        ListGridField lgfDescription = new ListGridField("description");
        lgfDescription.setCanHilite(false);
        lg.setFields(lgfDescription);
        lg.setDataSource(ds);
//        lg.editHilites();
       
        Button button = new Button("Edit Hilites");
        button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {

            public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
                lg.editHilites();
            }
        });
       
        VLayout layout = new VLayout();
        layout.addMember(lg);
        layout.addMember(button);

        layout.draw();
    }
}

Anyway, the point is that "description" field is still available in Hilite Editor even though it is explicite set as:

        lgfDescription.setCanHilite(false);

ps
In the linked thread you say about setFieldProperties(). I understand this is ListGrid.setFieldProperties() as described in SmartClient documentation (http://www.smartclient.com/docs/10.0...ieldProperties) ?
But it is not exposed in SGWT docs (http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte.../ListGrid.html).

Thanks for the clear test case. We've applied a patch that should fix this issue as of the 2015-01-22 build.

Tested against SmartClient Version: v10.0p_2015-02-02/LGPL Development Only (built 2015-02-02) and confirmed as fixed.
Thank you.
