Prevent Grid Filter Menu from Closing on Browser Scroll

Environment

Product Version	2017.3 1026
Product	Progress® Kendo UI® Grid for jQuery

Description

How can I prevent the filter popup from closing when the user scrolls the page of the Grid?

Solution

1. Handle the scroll event of the window.
2. In the event handler, set a global variable to true.
3. In the filterMenuInit event handler of the Grid, bind the close event to the Popup widget.
4. Based on the global variable, prevent the default behavior in the close event handler.
