[BUG?] Context Menu and removal of targets from DOM

[Dorian]

http://jsbin.com/gaketa/2/

The Kendo Context Menu stops working if you remove one of it's targets from DOM.

In the example to which I linked in the beginning of this post I bound a kendoContextMenu to a grid. Upon opening of the grid I get the dataItem from the grid dataSource which I can delete or display. If I display data, all works well with no hiccups and the contextMenu will open again after it. But when I delete a row from the grid it simply closes up and refuses to popup again. I've done a bit of digging and discovered that the contextMenu does not refresh it's target list from which I reckon the problem I have stems from.

As always thank you for your time and looking forward to any assistance to this predicament.

With regards,
Dorian

Thank you for your reply. 
I somewhat resolved the issue with destroying and then re-initializing the widget. But that won't solve the problem with the grid when you page it or when you use virtual scrolling or any other widget that changes it's contents.

Hi Dorian,

Reinitializing the widget will work as it will be initialized with the new targets, however this is not an acceptable behavior. I am sure a fix will be posted soon, so keep track on the progress of the GitHub issue that I linked in the previous response, so you will know when it is resolved.
