using infinite scroll while menu is open throws a [$rootScope:inprog] $digest already in progress exception

[Joel-Kornbluh]

Bug Description

With the infiniteScroll fetaure, when the grid is loading additional data (i.e. page) while a menu or column menu is open, it will throw a [$rootScope:inprog] $digest already in progress exception.

Cause

This bug was introduced in v4.2.0 by this commit which replaces $timeout with $scope.$apply in many places for performance reasons.

Specifically, dataLoaded - which is what users call once additional data has finished loading - calls adjustScroll which calls $rootScope.$applyAsync and indirectly wraps a beginScroll event trigger which has a registered handler in the column menu which in turn calls $scope.$apply again in applyHideMenu.

Possible Fix

1. Restore the $timeout in applyHideMenu in place of $scope.$apply, or:
2. Use some kind of "safe" $apply wherever we use $scope.$apply/$scope.$applyAsync

Hi,
Any news about this please ?
The problem still exists. Replace $scope.$apply by $timeout in applyHideMenu doesn't seems to fix that. In fact, doing this, the menu open and close instantly...
