Good afternoon, dear RF developers.

It seemed strange to me, but I've faced such a problem: I have this rich:dataTable on my page:

<c:if test="#{amBean.employee.relativeListSize > 0}">
 <rich:dataTable
 id="relativesDataTable"
 onRowClick="this.style.backgroundColor='#F1F1F1'"
 onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#B5CEFD'"
 onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{org.richfaces.SKIN.tableBackgroundColor}'"
 cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"
 value="#{amBean.employee.relativeList}" var="rudele">

 <f:facet name="header">
 <rich:columnGroup>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{muiBundle.dTableID}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{muiBundle.dTableNumber}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{muiBundle.dTableBirthDate}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{muiBundle.dTableBirthPlace}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <rich:spacer/>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:columnGroup>
 </f:facet>

 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{rudele.relativeId}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{rudele.name}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{rudele.birthDate}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{rudele.birthPlace}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <a4j:commandLink id = "delRelLink" value = "X" styleClass="txtlink"
 action = "#{amBean.action4RelativeRemoveFromList}" reRender = "relativesDataTable">
 <a4j:actionparam value="#{rudele.id4DataTable}" name="id4DataTable_del" assignTo="#{amBean.parameterID}"/>
 </a4j:commandLink>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:dataTable>
</c:if>

As you see, there is a link for deletion in the end of each row. The method action4RelativeRemoveFromList just removes an element from a list, then the table should be reRendered because of reRender = "relativesDataTable". And it is reRendered, but only if there is 1 and more rows. So if there is 3 elements and I delete one - the table reRenders with 2. I delete one more - it reRenders with 1. I delete the last one, logs write that element was deleted and the list is empty, but the table is NOT reRendered.
Yes, there is JSTL c:if element - and it works perfect if I put it between <a4j:outputPanel> and will reRender it whole. But what's wrong with rich:dataTable?

I've tried some experiments like making the list equal null or "new ArrayList()" in method action4RelativeRemoveFromList - just after that the table stops reRendering.

Maybe it's my fault somewhere, but still - it's better to ask in case of a bug.

Thanks for the answer.
