I have a problem with tabularx in a tcolorbox environment, here is the code:

In a regular tabularx environment, the table is okay (see 2nd table). However, if I do the same in a tcolorbox environment (1st table), the first line, which contains a multicolumn, does not work, whereas the other 5 show up, if one passes all the errors.
The error is (appears 6x):
! Misplaced omit.

?
I tried to play with the 'size' of the first multicolumn but did not succeed.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

unrelated to the error but youribsheading is wrong , you have 3 X columns so the total width should be 3hsize and 1+.005+.15 is not 3, tabularx will most likely fail to converge to sensible size given that input.

I do not know your intended design but any output made by tabularx given widths of 1+.005+.15 is entirely accidental , there is only one rule in the tabularx documentation and that is, don't do that:-)

It's easiest to just put the multicolumn in the second row, leaving an empty first row that you can back up with a negative vspace. I also fixed your ibs definitions.

@Krumpelmulticolumnhas to be the first thing in the cell otherwise the cell template gets added and it is too late to substitute the spanning information. even invisible stuff likerelaxor{}is enough to break it. So somewhere in the many lines of tcolorbox keyval processing it is is constructing a call to tabularx with{}orrelaxor something:-) after the{ibs}argument. I could spend a day tracing where but it's easier to write off that row and start again on the next row:-) (it may be worth giving the tcolorbox author a link to this, would be easier for him to trace)

@Krumpelmulticolumnhas to be the first thing in the cell otherwise the cell template gets added and it is too late to substitute the spanning information. even invisible stuff likerelaxor{}is enough to break it. So somewhere in the many lines of tcolorbox keyval processing it is is constructing a call to tabularx with{}orrelaxor something:-) after the{ibs}argument. I could spend a day tracing where but it's easier to write off that row and start again on the next row:-) (it may be worth giving the tcolorbox author a link to this, would be easier for him to trace)

It's easiest to just put the multicolumn in the second row, leaving an empty first row that you can back up with a negative vspace. I also fixed your ibs definitions.

unrelated to the error but your
ibsheading is wrong , you have 3 X columns so the total width should be 3hsize and 1+.005+.15 is not 3, tabularx will most likely fail to converge to sensible size given that input.– David Carlisle
Jan 30 '17 at 11:09
David: If I use 2.845+.005+.15 = 3, everything is put to the left of the table.
– Krumpel
Jan 30 '17 at 11:23
I do not know your intended design but any output made by tabularx given widths of 1+.005+.15 is entirely accidental , there is only one rule in the tabularx documentation and that is, don't do that:-)
– David Carlisle
Jan 30 '17 at 11:29
I agree since I found your example below ... . Sorry, I couldn't wait. ;-)
