Hi,

NatTable provides exactly the functionality that I need for my application.
However, one drawback is that the cell selection and scrolling behavior is a bit
laggy. I did not find any information on this issue. Is there any way to boost
performance for this (e.g. disable font changing on selection) ?
I would appreciate any advice!

You did not find any information on this issue, because you are the first person mentioning it.

What exactly do you mean? Selecting a range of cells, trying to scroll in a direction? Or what do you want to boost?

I don't think disabling the font changing would change anything here, as on selection the cell needs to be rerendered. Maybe there is too much rerendered, but in that case it is a general issue in NatTable you can not "boost" yourself.

Yes, I am talking about for example drag-selecting a range of cells. Maybe I am just too picky Smile, but in the Nebula Grid, this is more fluent.

I don't know where to open a ticket. But the reason for the slow selection performance is because of the default drag selection event.
With the following code, the selection is smooth:

This does not work yet though, if the table is not scrolled to the top.
    private class BodyDragSelection implements IDragMode {
        @Override
        public void mouseUp(NatTable natTable, MouseEvent event) {
        }
        
        @Override
        public void mouseMove(NatTable natTable, MouseEvent event) {
            SelectionLayer selectionLayer = ((MyBodyLayerStack) gridLayer.getBodyLayer()).getSelectionLayer();
            selectionLayer.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
            selectionLayer.selectCell(selectionLayer.getColumnPositionByX(event.x - gridLayer.getCornerLayer().getWidth()), selectionLayer.getRowPositionByY(event.y - gridLayer.getCornerLayer().getHeight()), true, false);
            natTable.redraw();
        }
        
        @Override
        public void mouseDown(NatTable natTable, MouseEvent event) {
            SelectionLayer selectionLayer = ((MyBodyLayerStack) gridLayer.getBodyLayer()).getSelectionLayer();
            int startRowIndex = selectionLayer.getRowPositionByY(event.y - gridLayer.getCornerLayer().getHeight());
            int startColumnIndex = selectionLayer.getColumnPositionByX(event.x - gridLayer.getCornerLayer().getWidth());
            selectionLayer.clear();
            selectionLayer.moveSelectionAnchor(startColumnIndex, startRowIndex);
            selectionLayer.selectCell(startColumnIndex, startRowIndex, true, false);
            natTable.redraw();
        }
    }
