Context Menu Null Reference

[Ed]

I have an interesting, but not funny, situation with the RadScheduler. In a nutshell, I am using context menus for the Appointments and Time Slots. My issue is with the Appointment context menu. Looking at the attached aspx page, you will notice that the data source for the scheduler is controlled by one of the combo boxes. When first entering the page, everything works as expected. However, after changing the selected item on the combobox, the Appointment context menu fails (I believe it is in the showAt method) when the following error is recorded: Unable to get property 'parentNode' of undefined or null reference. This leaves the property, _shown, set to true which means that, the next time you try to open the menu, it thinks it is already open and tries to close it, which also fails.

The scheduler is defined as:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" DataEndField="EndOn" DataKeyField="ScheduleId"
DataRecurrenceField="RecurrenceRule" DataRecurrenceParentKeyField="RecurrentParentId"
DataSourceID="ScheduleDataSource" DataStartField="StartOn" DataSubjectField="Subject"
DayStartTime="06:00:00" MinutesPerRow="60" SelectedView="MonthView" StartInsertingInAdvancedForm="True"

</Items>
</telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu>
</TimeSlotContextMenus>
<ResourceTypes>
<telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="CalendarDataSource" ForeignKeyField="CalendarId"
KeyField="CalendarId" Name="Calendar" TextField="Name" />
<telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="EventDataSource" ForeignKeyField="EventId" KeyField="EventId"
Name="Event" TextField="Name" />
</ResourceTypes>
<Localization ConfirmRecurrenceDeleteSeries="Delete this and all future occurrences." />
<TimelineView NumberOfSlots="7" />
<WeekView DayStartTime="06:00:00" />
<MultiDayView DayStartTime="06:00:00" />
<MonthView FirstDayHeaderDateFormat="d MMM" />
</telerik:RadScheduler>

The data source is defined as:

<asp:LinqDataSource ID="ScheduleDataSource" runat="server" ContextTypeName="EnterpriseWeb.DataContracts.Scheduling.SchedulingDataContext"
EntityTypeName="" TableName="ScheduleHeaderRows" EnableDelete="True" EnableInsert="True"
EnableUpdate="True" Where="GroupID == @GroupID" OnInserting="ScheduleDataSource_Inserting"
OnUpdated="ScheduleDataSource_Updated">
<WhereParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="GroupComboBox" DefaultValue="0" Name="GroupId" PropertyName="SelectedValue"
Type="Int16" />
</WhereParameters>
</asp:LinqDataSource>

The method for opening the menu is:

function RadScheduler1_AppointmentContextMenu(sender, args)
{
SelectedAppointment = args.get_appointment();
SelectedDate.val(SelectedAppointment.get_start().format("MM/dd/yyyy"));
AppointmentContextMenu.show(args.get_domEvent());
}

Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide any data for testing.
