Filters on grid issues

Hi,

We have a grid where we have specified a column having a combo_filter in header. It seems like If the data in the column cotain regex meta characters, the first select of the filter seems to be fine, but the combo box seems to be locked after that, i.e, even if we click combo box drop down arrow, the combo filter does’nt expand.

You can use the data xml from the following example to reproduce this, http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/08_filtering/02_pro_filter_combo.html

change the second cell in the first row of the data xml used in above example, and include characters like [abc], (abc), *, $ , ^,etc.
for example,

 	<row id="1001">
		<cell>100</cell>
		<cell>AN [apple] </cell>
		<cell>John Grisham</cell>
		<cell>12.99</cell>
		<cell>1</cell>
		<cell>05/01/1998</cell>
	</row>

or

 	<row id="1001">
		<cell>100</cell>
		<cell>AN $ apple </cell>
		<cell>John Grisham</cell>
		<cell>12.99</cell>
		<cell>1</cell>
		<cell>05/01/1998</cell>
	</row>

and try to use the filter on the second column.

Thanks.

Try to use the attached js file instead of the original one.
