Pdfmake: colSpan in first row causes error or display problems

[dgrice]

This definition causes error:

{ content:[
{
table:{
widths:['auto','auto'],
body:[
[ {text:'header', colSpan:2} ],
['abc','def']
]
}
}
]}

but, moving the first row with colSpan to second row, displays correctly;
{ content:[
{
table:{
widths:['auto','auto'],
body:[
['abc','def'],
[ {text:'header', colSpan:2} ]
]
}
}
]}

I ran into a similar issue, I believe you need an empty element in your first example try this instead

{ 
  content:[
    {
      table:{
        widths:['auto','auto'],
        body:[
          [ {text:'header', colSpan:2}, {text:''} ], //note the second object with empty string for 'text'
          ['abc','def']
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

They must be defined all cells of table. This is a feature (probably poor, but it is so.).

I just wasted 2 hours of my time into this issue!!! Please refer back to this issue in the Playground so people don't lose their minds over this weird behaviour.
