Changing the defaults of a datagrid

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

Hi Zryip,

first of all my question about hidden features was not intended as criticism.
Please excuse if this seemed.
I know DGH as a really powerful tool which saved me much time in past.

But it didn´t here. It opened and closed immediately.

But now i found the culprit. I am using lcTaskList plugin. And if that plugin is already open then
the window closes immediately after opening. If one is fast, i mean really fast, one is able to press the 
"Add in Chamber" button before the window closes again.

But closing the plugin lcTastList fixes this behaviour and the window stays open until one clicks a button.
So it seems something in lcTaskList forces the window to close.

It works here now as you described and the mimetism feature is a real time saver.

So again, please excuse if you feel offended. It was not my intention.

Regards,

Matthias
