Datagrid and new Summer Bundle table/grid widgets

To anyone with the Summer Bundle:

The Datagrid object has a practical limit on the number of columns that 
I just reported as https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23875
(about 327 columns at a default column width of 100px due to the Group 
objects 32767px width limit)

Do any of the table/grid widgets in the Summer Bundle allow going beyond 
this limit? Could someone with a Summer Bundle please test the 
table/grid widgets. I have included the script I populate the column 
names and a first row of data in a Datagrid with below. I'd just like to 
know whether any of the new table widgets can exceed thsi Datagrid 
limit. Thank you to anyone who can spare the time to test in advance.

on mouseUp pMouseButton
   local tColumnNames, tArray
   ask "Number of columns?"
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   --
   repeat with i=1 to it
     set cursor to busy
     put "Column"&&i into tColumnName
     put tColumnName into line i of tColumnNames
     put i into tArray[1][tColumnName]
   end repeat
   --
   set cursor to watch
   set the dgData of group "Table" to tArray -- replace this line and 
the nest with code for the new widget
   set the dgProp["columns"] of group "Table" to tColumnNames
   beep 3
end mouseUp
