I obtain the same problem with the column behavior when I create a new
grid with no data, so totally empty.

Not test for the moment in my lab. But such as the data of the grid is
an array, I suppose that it is possible to delete the array key to
remove a column.

Hum not really friendly user compared to the creation of the behavior,
but impressive ;)

Thanks for your answer André 8-)
