It seems nobody has an idea how it can be done.
I already fought quite a lot with grids before but
got it reasonable working when doing fundamental
things only. It seems that grids in Lazarus are very
rudimentarily implemented. There are quite a lot of
things missing to make them usable (i.e. AutoSizeRow()).
Too bad.

Do any alternatives exist?
Or do I have to do it all from cratch myself?
