Add new button crashes after grid is filtered

[Travis]

I'm filtering my grid with the following code:

$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter({ logic: "or", filters: [{ field: "MyField", operator: "equals", value: parseInt($("#MyDropDown").val())}] });

This will filter the grid fine, but then when I click the "Add new record" button in the grid toolbar, nothing happens.  Editing and deleting still function, but create/add new does not.

I've found a work around for now.  Instead of setting the data source filters after the grid is created, I'm setting a function for the "read" method which checks my dropdown value:

 

transport: {

                    read: {

                        url: function () {

                            return apiUrl + "MyWebApiMethod?MyParam=" + $("#MyDropDown").val()

                        },

                        type: 'GET'

                    },
