Increase/Decrease the size of last column in the grid

Hi,
I'm making use of the grid (Version 1.6 build 80512).
In the grid i've set the column size to be 100.

Then i've set the functionalities,
mygrid.enableAutoWidth(true, 800);
mygrid.enableAutoHeight(true, 400);

Now when i have the grid with 4/5 columns i will be getting grid without any scrollbars.
In this grid the column size of the grids can be modified only if it is not the last column.

Example Grid:

| a | b | c | d | e | --> Header\Column of the grid

Now here in the above mentioned grid i can increase/decrease the size of the columns a/b/c and d without any problems. But when i try to increase/decrease the size of the last column i.e. 'e' it happens with lots of small intervals. We can only increase/decrease the size with in very small increment/decrements in size respectively at a time.
Is it the behavior of the grid or is there any problem with what i have done?

Actually it is expected behavior - grid allows resize only inside its own border, so you can't resize grid out of its border ( which appears in case of last column )
This is normal scenario, when grid used without auto-width, but I agree, that in case of auto-width it may be not desired way of resizing.

If necessary we can provide "alternative" build of dhtmlxgrid, which will allow resize for last column out of grid borders. ( it was implemented as experimental solution, and while it seems stable, we not plan to include such functionality as part of main codebase).
