ListGrid "emptyMessage" issue

[ESherbakova]

Hi,

Our client reports an issue that there’s small time span where the ListGrid display the message “No items to show” before being updated to “Loading data”. This issue becomes more critical in older pcs since the “No items to show” takes more time to be refreshed.

To see this issue, please try the attached standalone (Seems it is too big to upload, we will send this by email to support@isomorphic.com). Since the standalone is not as complex as the real page that our client uses, the issue may not be shown the first time when we load the page. We need to refresh the page to see this issue.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the standalone.
2. If the issue is not shown in the previous step, refresh the page by pressing "F5".
3. If the issue is still not shown, refresh the page by click the URL field and press enter to reload the page.

Observation:
The empty message lasts a few seconds before change into loading data...

We reproduced this issue on IE8 with v8.2p-2013_03_04 build. Our machine is running Windows XP Sp3 with Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M CPU 1.8GHz and 1 GB of RAM.

Thanks!

The "No Items To Show" message is the emptyMessage - the "Loading data..." message is the loadingDataMessage.

If you're seeing the empty message before the initial fetch gets kicked off, you could suppress it entirely by setting showEmptyMessage to false on your grid, or you could kick off the fetch *before* drawing the grid rather than fetching after draw.

Let us know if this doesn't give you a way to workaround this issue in your app.
