Hey Sean
I've noted that when there are checkboxes ticked, the behaviour of searching is undesirable and really a bit of a bug. There are two issues:
Issue 1: Toolbar stays in CheckBox mode when searching Steps to Re-create:
Expected:
Actual:
Issue 2: CheckBox items disappear if selected during a search Steps to Re-create:
Expected:
Actual:
Desired behaviour:
This is pretty critical because the items are still checked even when not visible, so any scripting I do to delete checked items, can occur without visibility to the user. (ie. when using a batch delete function based on the checked items).
Any advice?
Cheers
Hi Sean, please don't worry about this one. I've figured out a workaround.
I've used the order() api to automatically re-order the table whenever a checkbox is ticked, this has the effect of pinning ticked items to the top, and changed the addClass to a toggle() that only switches when the total number of selected items is 0 or >0.
Cheers!
Glad to hear that 
Thanks for sharing the solution and all the best with your project.
Regard!
