Combobox bug with an empty or null datasource

[Mike]

I've been trying to figure this out in my own scenario but I'm able to produce this using a slightly modified example I found on the forum from one of your developers.

Here's the example: http://jsfiddle.net/krustev/5GGVf/ 

When using an array that's empty or no datasource at all you'll notice an error in Chrome.  With a larger page this causes a stack error.  In Firefox this will completely lockup the browser.

Is there any viable way to create an empty combobox and later add data without this problem?

Edit: To produce the bug simply start typing in the combobox.

Thanks,
- Mike

Hello Mike,

This is a known issue, which is already fixed. The fix will be available in the next internal build of KendoUI (available only for paid customers). You can overcome this issue if you set the filter mode of the combobox. 

All the best,
