It can be seen here, I suspect that most of widgets that have such toggler (opening some kind of dropdown ) are broken
The fix is pushed to the branch, and addresses all popups. I tried the demos in question, and it seems to work all right.
Currently the mentioned issues can not be observed. Some small glitches was observed but those are not related and thus new issues were created.
I'm still seeing this issue from the npm install of "kendo-ui-core": "^2016.2.714". Everything starts working again when I remove the default jQuery dependency (i.e. jQuery 3) and manually install jQuery 2. e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/s/n8nh6bq8ryqt9np/elem.getClientRects.mp4?dl=0
Well, my fault here. I thought this fix was in the latest sp2. Seems it is not, thus I should not expect a fix. Ok. Well I'm going to advocate we change the jQuery dependency (via npm), as it shouldn't be at three with these kind of issues.
