Possible bug when exiting editing on top of another cell

javismiles

Good day, this feels like a bug to me

• I'm using latest version 1.6.5
• load a table
• Do a filtering search on search box to search via some criteria
• go to any cell
• click on the cell and edit it
• now comes the key, if in order to finish the "on the spot" editing, you click completely outside of the table then all is ok.
• However if you click on a different cell, the editing finishes ok, but then try to delete the searching criteria and nothing happens because a javascript error has been triggered : "dataTables.editor.min.js:51 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'contents' of undefined
  at f.inline (dataTables.editor.min.js:51)
  at HTMLTableElement.<anonymous> (dataTables.editor.min.js:50)
  at HTMLTableElement.fn (jquery-1.12.4.js:"

etc, etc

this happens consistently, its very easy to replicate.
So in order not to trigger the error, I have to make sure that after the editing I click completely outside of the table to finish the editing

A forum search yields this result:

The description and error sound the same as yours. Does that post help? If not please post your JS code.
