dataview shrinks the whole ui

Webix JS
1

i am having a play with dataview but am running into this issue:
http://webix.com/snippet/6f189dfc

where the whole ui shrinks to the dataview size. Is this normal? It seems like if i wrap the dataview around cols: with an empty column {} at the end, that’s fixed, but is there a neater way to do that?

TIA

As far as I can see, all works as expected: a form without fixed size adjusts to the parent container (and the same for its text input). It’s a normal behavior.

By the way, the dataview is a particular widget.

sorry wrong snippet… my bad.
here is the right one:

According to Webix logic, the dataview must fit xCount/yCount values:

Basically, if you want to use all free space for a view, do not set fixed height Which means do not use height|maxHeight|yCount or autoheight. All those modes will size dataview to some fixed height, and surrounding UI may adjust self as well ( may shrinks )
