I modified the range_dates.js plugin to parse and filter ISO 8601 dates (yyyy-mm-dd).
I have created a test case at:
http://live.datatables.net/nuxasuxa/2
To replicate the issue:
1. Select Start Date == 2018-12-01. Immediately all records are filtered out, but all 15 should display.
2. Select End Date == 2018-12-25. All records remain filtered out, but 8 records should display.
3. Tab back and forth through Search Record Name and End Date. 8 records will hide and display, but 8 records should display.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2, but type the date manually to experience the same issue.
5. Remove the datepicker initialization, and repeat Steps 1 and 2 to experience the same issue.
I've tried changing events between keyup, change, blur, focus, etc., but that had no effect.
How can I fix this UI issue?
