  I'm a bit confused with your problem description. The example you linked to doesn't appear to use select2.

  I updated one of my column search with select2 examples to use scrollY and it seems to work:

  If my example doesn't help then please post a link to your page are a test case showing the issue.

  Looks like it is a Select2 issue, but its already been fixed :-) updated example.

  Basically what was happening is that DataTables will clone the contents of the footer and use them in a hidden element when the table is scrolling, so make the columns all line up.

  Select2 (4.0.5 and earlier) uses:

        var $all = $('.select2.select2-container--open');
  
        $all.each(function () {
          var $this = $(this);
  
          if (this == $select[0]) {
            return;
          }
  
          var $element = $this.data('element');
  
          $element.select2('close');
        });
  

  So it finds the cloned element, but there is no element data point since the clone doesn't include the data. Since there is no condition to check that element was found, an error is thrown.

  Looks like 2.0.6 is going to resolve this .

  Good night everyone I actually posted a report here:

  Select2 Github Issue

  I'll add a comment there redirecting to this forum post is it ok?
  Thanks

  BTW: @allan "Looks like 2.0.6 is going to resolve this." you meant 4.0.6?
  And one other problem is, on focus if you click on any other place different from the select2 dropdown or other select2 it won't close the options list.

  Absolutely.

  "Looks like 2.0.6 is going to resolve this." you meant 4.0.6?

  Oops. Yes!

  on focus if you click on any other place different from the select2 dropdown or other select2 it won't close the options list.

  That's fixed with 4.0.6 preview is it not?
