filter_hideFilters True Disables Filter Input in Chrome on Win 7

[ghost]

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but I seem to be having the same issue that is noted in the change-log per:

"Added a caution note in the filter widget (basic) demo stating the issue with Chrome not rendering search input text properly when previously hidden.

For now, I set the filter_hideFilters option to false until the source of this problem is determined."

The behavior I am seeing is as follows:

• filter_hideFilters set to True
• When you hover over the filter area it appears, but you cannot type any text
• Works properly when filter_hideFilters is set to False
• This is under Win 7 with the latest Chrome, 27.0.1453.116 m right now
• Same version of Chrome running in OS X does not have this problem
• The Fiddler demo works on Win 7
• I have Tablesorter 2.7.3 (so I might just try the latest code too)

Thanks for a fantastic tool !

Just as a follow-up this is a problem with 2.10.8 as well.

Hi @cokrzys!

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

I think this issue has been fixed in Chrome. I no longer have any trouble with hidden inputs and the jsFiddle demo I made works as expected too! I'm going to go ahead and remove that caution note and restore the default true value for that demo.

EIther way, I'm going to close this issue; please feel free to leave a note if you want to discuss this further.
