Datepicker reappears after selection when datepicker is in a modal in IE

[andrewdmoreno]

When using a datepicker within a dialog, the datepicker reappears after selecting a date. If the datepicker is not in a dialog, this behavior is not reproduced.

I created a small jsbin to test and it looks like this behavior was first introduced in version 1.10.1 of jquery ui and remains through latest version. Versions prior (1.10.0, 1.9.x) did not replicate the behavior.

Failing jsbin (1.10.1):

Passing jsbin (1.10.0):

I can confirm this issue and believe I have traced it back to ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commit/c53198c2099d25e80887c86af6d0e624414cc2f7

Also, since then the ui-front change has been made but this is still an issue.

I have the same problem. This works as a workaround. I don't know what adverse affects this has, so use at your own risk.

$.widget( "ui.dialog", $.ui.dialog, {
  _allowInteraction: function( event ) {
    return true;
  }
});

This is still an issue in master: ​http://jsbin.com/ajinuw/8/. And it affects all versions of IE, not just IE8.

I traced this down to this focusin handler in _createOverlay(): ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/849c6fd5376e12c6093c557bd4836ef0b145f145/ui/dialog.js#L830-839

When you select a date from the popup IE triggers focusin, but other browsers do not. I'm not sure why.
