Invisible columns mess up the autoFitColumns

[Cesar Smerling]

Hi, when a invisible column is present in the grid the autoFitColumns doesn't work correctly, like show in the screenshots shared.

If the width of the column is set to 0 then the autoFitColumns works correctly.

Here is a link to stackblitz example, you can change the visible parameter and remove the width in the 'empty' column to test the behaviour mentioned.
