TableView rebuilds the entire table when a single row is added/removed

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary
      When a single row is added/removed, all delegates are destroyed or pooled. This makes it impossible to meaningfully use the TableView.pooled() and TableView.reused() signals.

       

      Original report
      When adding or removing rows or columns from a QML TableView, there are many odd, seemingly random, effects with regard to volatile state data e.g. animation and mouse states. 

      Qt docs on TableViews offer what is paramount to a disclaimer about this.  So, clearly this a long known issue. 

      The recommended "solution" is to make use of onPooled and onReused slots, or to disable the caching mechanism entirely by setting `reuseItems` to false.  But, these solutions are not sufficient, and still force one into a great deal of work and the invention of various kludges.

      I have attached a simple project which demonstrates some of these problems, along with more extended descriptions and thoughts on the matter.
