Varying levels of zoom causes scrolling to become offset from cell grid when rows and columns are frozen.

See screen cap.

I was surprised I couldn't find another copy of this since it's such a well-known issue :)

Dees, here's something we should discuss with the Google Sheets team to see if they know why this is happening.

Who would be best to email the DL? :gijs?

I've also added Steven here — as he may have some feedback...

Sorry, I just moved this bug out of Firefox::General as it needed triage. I mostly work on frontend stuff. Core::Layout seems right, and so I'm hoping :overholt can suggest someone.

Let's see if Steven has any ideas. I don't think anyone from the layout team has investigated yet. I heard someone speculate about https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/measureText being related ...

I just saw this without having zoomed in/out (which was my hypothetical trigger ...).

Hi,

Yes, we are aware of the issue. There are some changes to how the spreadsheet grid will render. The fix for this bug is part of those changes. It should be rolling out within Q1 timeframe. I'll leave this open until it is fully rolled out.

Let's move this into Tech Evangelism since Google is working on a resolution, thanks!

The fix for this is now rolled out for all users of Google Sheets.
