Description

Problem

sections property in TableView does not work as expected. Still needed to use data property.

Test case

Example code provided in docs: [Table View Sections](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/3.0/#!/api/Titanium.UI.TableView)

Ti.UI.backgroundColor = 'white';
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
 
var sectionFruit = Ti.UI.createTableViewSection({ headerTitle: 'Fruit' });
sectionFruit.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Apples' }));
sectionFruit.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Bananas' }));
 
var sectionVeg = Ti.UI.createTableViewSection({ headerTitle: 'Vegetables' });
sectionVeg.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Carrots' }));
sectionVeg.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Potatoes' }));
 
var table = Ti.UI.createTableView({
  // Prior to Release 3.0, add sections using the data property:
  // data: [sectionFruit, sectionVeg]
  sections: [sectionFruit, sectionVeg] // BUG
});
 
win.add(table);
win.open();

Hello Marco, We can't accept incomplete community reports. Please provide a working sample to replicate what you are seeing. You may want to have a look at [Jira checklist](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/How_to_Submit_a_Bug_Report-section-29004732_HowtoSubmitaBugReport-JIRATicketChecklist). I'd reopen when resources are available.

Resources are already available. I already described what to do. Open a new mobile project and copy and paste the sample from appcelerator's docs. Anyway, this is the code. app.js:

   Ti.UI.backgroundColor = 'white';
   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
   
   var sectionFruit = Ti.UI.createTableViewSection({ headerTitle: 'Fruit' });
   sectionFruit.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Apples' }));
   sectionFruit.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Bananas' }));
   
   var sectionVeg = Ti.UI.createTableViewSection({ headerTitle: 'Vegetables' });
   sectionVeg.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Carrots' }));
   sectionVeg.add(Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Potatoes' }));
   
   var table = Ti.UI.createTableView({
     // Prior to Release 3.0, add sections using the data property:
     // data: [sectionFruit, sectionVeg]
     sections: [sectionFruit, sectionVeg] // BUG
   });
   
   win.add(table);
   win.open();
