> **Issue:**
> When the `TableView` is set with built-in `CONSTRAINED_RESIZE_POLICY`, the
> horizontal scroll bar keeps flickering when the `TableView` width is reduced.
>
> **Cause:**
> The table columns widths are recalculated only if the difference of the
> `TableView` width and the total columns width is greater than 1px. Because of
> this improper calculations, if the `TableView` width is reduced by 1px, the
> columns widths are not updated. Which results to computing for horizontal
> scroll bar visibility in `VirtualFlow` to improper results and let the
> horizontal scroll bar to be visible.
>
> Where as if the `TableView` width is reduced by more than 1px, the
> calculations are done correctly and the horizontal scroll bar visibility is
> turned off. Because of this behaviour, it looks like the horizontal scroll
> bar is flickering when the `TableView` width is reduced (let’s say by
> dragging).
>
> To confirm this behaviour, please find the below example that showcases the
> issue:
> When the tableView width is reduced/increased by 1px, the column widths are
> recalculated only after every alternate 1px change. Whereas if the tableView
> width is reduced/increased by more than 1px (say 10px), the column widths are
> calculated correctly.
