The minWidth property of the columns is not working on inital render of the grid

[dkamburov]

Description

The minWidth property of the columns is not working on inital render of the grid, it's only being applied if the resizing of the columns is used

• igniteui-angular version: 18.2.*
• browser: N\A

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the attachment
2. ng serve
3. Open the page on mobile view

Result

The column ContactName has minWidth applied of 80px, even though it's getting smaller than that.

Expected result

The minWidth property should applied when the widths of the columns are calculated initially.
The same applies to maxWidth property.

Changed this to a feature request since this has only ever applied min/max width as constraint for user interactions related to resizing as described in the resizing docs:
https://www.infragistics.com/products/ignite-ui-angular/angular/components/grid/column-resizing#restrict-column-resizing

As you can see, there's no mention of these properties affecting the way the grid renders sizes in the related topic for sizing:
https://www.infragistics.com/products/ignite-ui-angular/angular/components/grid/sizing

Changing it would change the existing behavior, as users may have set this in existing grids to limit certain user interactions, while with this it will now apply the same constrains to the developer specified sizes as well.

In addition to that we need a spec on the different widths and min/max width combinations and what the expected result would be as widths can be fixed (in pixels), relative (in percentage) or auto (fitting the length of the longest header or data cell), while min/max widths can be fixed (pixels) or relative (in percentage) and user can mix and match them.

I've added a section on column widths and constraints here: https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-angular/wiki/igxGrid-Specification#-column-sizing

Awaiting sign off.
