<p dir="auto">I'm using Qt Quick (<code>Qt 6.8</code>) with a <code>TableView</code> and a <code>HorizontalHeaderView</code>. I’ve set up <code>syncView</code> so that the header and table should stay in sync:</p>
<pre><code class="language-qml">HorizontalHeaderView {
    id: header
    Layout.fillWidth: true
    syncView: tableView
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">The <code>TableView</code> defines a <code>columnWidthProvider</code> to calculate dynamic widths, including a "stretch" column (e.g. column 2):</p>
<pre><code class="language-qml">TableView {
    id: tableView
    Layout.fillWidth: true

    columnWidthProvider: function (column) {
        let min = minimalColumnWidth(column)
        if (column === 2) {
            return stretchColumnWidth()
        }
        return min
    }
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">However, some columns (especially columns 2 and 3) show <strong>mismatched widths</strong> between the table and header. This happens even though <code>syncView</code> is set.</p>

<p dir="auto">To ensure layout syncs correctly, you need to explicitly trigger layout updates when the <code>TableView</code> or <code>HorizontalHeaderView</code> resizes.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Fix</strong>: Add <code>onWidthChanged: tableView.forceLayout()</code> in <strong>both</strong> the <code>TableView</code> and the <code>HorizontalHeaderView</code>.</p>
<h3>🔧 Updated code:</h3>
<pre><code class="language-qml">TableView {
    id: tableView

    columnWidthProvider: function (column) {
        // Your width logic
    }

    onWidthChanged: tableView.forceLayout()
}
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="language-qml">HorizontalHeaderView {
    id: header
    syncView: tableView

    onWidthChanged: tableView.forceLayout()
}
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">✅ Even in <code>HorizontalHeaderView</code>, you call <code>**tableView.forceLayout()**</code>, not <code>header.forceLayout()</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<h3>🧠 Why this works</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>columnWidthProvider</code> often runs <strong>before</strong> <code>tableView.width</code> is fully initialized or updated.</li>
<li><code>forceLayout()</code> triggers Qt to <strong>re-run layout and width calculations</strong> with correct sizing.</li>
<li><code>syncView</code> can now properly sync header and table widths based on the final layout pass.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>✅ Result</h3>
<p dir="auto">Now the header and table stay in perfect sync, even when:</p>
<ul>
<li>Resizing the window</li>
<li>Stretching a specific column to take remaining space</li>
<li>Changing content dynamically</li>
</ul>
