### Bug report

When adding a <select> element as a custom tool in the Editor, the dropdown does not open.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Run the Dojo sample and try to open the dropdown in the toolbar:

https://dojo.telerik.com/VVPUopDw

The same example work as expected with version 2023.1.117.

2) When using version 2024.4.1112, if you remove the "ref-toolbar-tool" attribute from the <div class='k-toolbar-item'> element, the dropdown opens as expected.

### Expected/desired behavior

The <select> element must function correctly when added as a custom tool in the toolbar.

### Workaround

Handle the "click" event of the select and prevent the event bubbling:

<script>
    $(function () {
        const selectElements = $('select[id^="symbolSelect_"]');
        $(selectElements).each(function (index) {
            this.addEventListener("click", clickHandlerSymbolSelect);
        });
    });

    function clickHandlerSymbolSelect(e) {
        e.stopPropagation(); //Prevent event bubbling, so Kendo cannot swallow or cancel the event.
        const sendingElement = e.target;
        sendingElement.showPicker();
        return true;
    }
</script>

### Bug report

When loading an editor through a partial View using EditorTemplateView(await Html.PartialAsync("PartialViewName")), the following error occurs:

The 'await' operator can only be used within an async lambda expression. Consider marking this lambda expression with the 'async' modifier.

### Reproduction of the problem

@(Html.Kendo().Form<UserViewModel>()
     .Name("myForm")
     .Items(items =>
     {
         items.Add().Field(f => f.Username).EditorTemplateView(await Html.PartialAsync("PartialViewName"));
      })
)

### Expected/desired behavior

The EditorTemplateView() must accept Html.PartialAsync("PartialViewName").

### Bug report

The File() option of the Editor's FileBrowser configuration does not provide UrlHandler() option, which is available for the ImageBrowser.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Define an Editor and enable the FileBrowser feature:

@(Html.Kendo().Editor()
    .Name("Description")
    .Tools(tools => tools
        .Clear()
        .InsertFile()
    )
    .FileBrowser(fileBrowser => fileBrowser
        .File("GetFile", "FileBrowser", new { path = "{0}" })
        .Read("Read", "FileBrowser")
        .Create("Create", "FileBrowser")
        .Destroy("Destroy", "FileBrowser")
        .Upload("Upload", "FileBrowser")
        )
)

2) The File() option sets URL responsible for serving the original file. Try to set it by using a JavaScript handler.

3) The File(x => x.UrlHandler("setURLHandler")) configuration is not available.

### Expected/desired behavior

The UrlHandler() function must be available to set the URL that serves the file using a JavaScript handler.

I am seeing that once a grid checkboxlist column filter exceeds about 1000 items the wait time appears to increase non-linearly (performance is worse than linear.)  For example, with 3,000 items the page freezes for about 30 seconds.  The data is fetched in under 50 milliseconds, so the vast majority of this time appears to be processing by Kendo.

Please see the attached for my configuration.

1. Installs both extensions ASP.NET Core and MVC without the latest MVC and ASP.Net Core product versions
2. Create an ASP.NET Core project with an older version
3. An Update Available Notification appears for ASP.Net Core
4. Click on the "Update Now" button
5. The Upgrade project wizard is launched
6. Click on "Next" button, then the following error appears:
   
   

### Bug report

When loading a PDF file using the PDFViewer configured for DPL processing, the file content is loaded partially.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Open the DPL Processing Demo: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/pdfviewer/dpl-processing

2) The file content is not loaded as expected.

The issue started to occur in version 2025.1.211. When comparing the responses of the "pdfviewer/getinitialpdf?pageNumber=1" request, the response when using the previous version (2024.4.1112) is longer than that of version 2025.1.211.

### Expected/desired behavior

The content of the loaded PDF file must be complete.

### Environment

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example: https://dojo.telerik.com/eRazIrIB

1. Scroll the Grid

Current behavior

The data is requested, but it is not displayed in the Grid.

Expected/desired behavior

The data is displayed, regardless of the type of loader used.

### Bug report

When deferring the component scripts to a file and a specified item of a Form HtmlHelper has a defined editor through the Editor() configuration, a client-side error is thrown:

"Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #"

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Enable the global deferred initialization.

2) Define a Form HtmlHelper with a ComboBox editor for one of its items:

@model FormViewModel

@(Html.Kendo().Form<FormViewModel>()
    .Name("form")
    .HtmlAttributes(new { action = @Url.Action("SubmitData", "Home"), method = "POST" })
    .FormData(Model)
    .Items(items =>
    {
        items.Add()
            .Field(f => f.Username)
            .Label(l => l.Text("Username:"));

        items.Add()
        .Field(f => f.City)
        .Label(l => l.Text("City"))
        .Editor(editor => editor
          .ComboBox()
          .DataTextField("Text")
          .DataValueField("Value")
          .BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>()
          {
            new SelectListItem() { Text = "City A", Value = "1" },
            new SelectListItem() { Text = "City B", Value = "2" },
            new SelectListItem() { Text = "City C", Value = "3" }
          })
        );
    })
)
@(Html.Kendo().DeferredScriptFile())

3) When the page with the Form is loaded, open the browser console and examine the error.  Review the content of the loaded kendo-deferred-scripts-xxxxx.js file - the ComboBox initialization script is included after the Form initialization script. Attached you can find screenshots.

When using the TagHelper version of the Form, the ComboBox initialization script is included in the kendo-deferred-scripts-xxxxx.js file before the initialization script of the Form with a unique generated "id" for example "3451ce77-2736-437f-9584-f5a5255902c2". In this case, no client-side errors occur.

### Expected/desired behavior

When deferring the component scripts to a file, the Form with specified editors must be initialized as expected without client-side errors.

### Workaround

Use the TagHelper version of the Form or define the editor by using the EditorTemplateView() option:

        items.Add()
        .Field(f => f.City)
        .Label(l => l.Text("City"))
        .EditorTemplateView(Html.Partial("ComboEditor"));

// ~/Views/Shared/ComboEditor.cshtml

@model FormViewModel

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(m => m.City)
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Value")
.BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>() {
	new SelectListItem() { Text = "City A", Value = "1" },
	new SelectListItem() { Text = "City B", Value = "2" },
	new SelectListItem() { Text = "City C", Value = "3" }
})
)

Bug report

When enabling Editing for the Grid or TreeList a "No License" overlay is displayed in the following scenarios:

Reproduction of the problem

• Grid: overlay is displayed on load

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<TelerikMvcApp13.Models.OrderViewModel>()
    .Name("grid")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(p => p.OrderID).Filterable(false);
        columns.Bound(p => p.Freight);
        columns.Bound(p => p.OrderDate).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}");
        columns.Bound(p => p.ShipName);
        columns.Bound(p => p.ShipCity);
        columns.Command(c => c.Edit());
    })
    .Editable(e=>e.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp))
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Scrollable()
    .Filterable()
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .PageSize(20)
        .Model(m=>m.Id(o=>o.OrderID))
        .Read(read => read.Action("Orders_Read", "Grid"))
        .Update(read => read.Action("Orders_Update", "Grid"))
        .Create(read => read.Action("Orders_Create", "Grid"))
        .Destroy(read => read.Action("Orders_Destroy", "Grid"))
    )
)

• TreeList: initially there is no overlay. Clicking on "Edit" button shows overlay and "No License" popup.

@(Html.Kendo().TreeList<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.TreeList.EmployeeDirectoryModelPopUp>()
    .Name("treelist")
    .Toolbar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Add().Field(e => e.FirstName).Width(220).Title("First Name");
        columns.Add().Field(e => e.LastName).Width(100).Title("Last Name");
        columns.Add().Field(e => e.Position);
        columns.Add().Field(e => e.HireDate).Format("{0:MMMM d, yyyy}");
        columns.Add().Field(e => e.Phone).Width(200);
        columns.Add().Field(e => e.Extension).Width(140).Title("Ext").Format("{0:#}");
        columns.Add().Width(300).Command(c =>
        {
            c.CreateChild().Text("Add child");
            c.Edit();
            c.Destroy();
        });
    })
    .Editable(e => e.Mode("popup"))
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Create(create => create.Action("Create", "EmployeeDirectory"))
        .Read(read => read.Action("All", "EmployeeDirectory"))
        .Update(update => update.Action("Update", "EmployeeDirectory"))
        .Destroy(delete => delete.Action("Destroy", "EmployeeDirectory"))
        .Model(m =>
        {
            m.Id(f => f.EmployeeId);
            m.ParentId(f => f.ReportsTo);
            m.Expanded(true);
            m.Field(f => f.FirstName);
            m.Field(f => f.LastName);
            m.Field(f => f.ReportsTo);
            m.Field(f => f.HireDate);
            m.Field(f => f.Extension).DefaultValue(0);
            m.Field(f => f.Position);
        })
    )

### Bug report

When opening the filter menu of a specified column through the classic ColumnMenu, the filter container is displayed with scrollbars when the dropdown of the filter operator is opened.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Define a Grid and enable its classic ColumnMenu.

2) Open the filter menu of a specified column and then open the dropdown to select a filter operator.

3) The filter container has scrollbars. The "k-menu-popup" element has "overflow: auto";

Use the following demo to test the case and select the "classic" type for the ColumnMenu: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/column-menu

The issue does not appear when using version 2024.4.1112.

### Expected/desired behavior

The filter menu container must not change its appearance when the dropdown opens.

### Workaround:

<style>
.k-menu-popup {
    overflow: visible !important;
}
</style>

Bug report

The column format applied through the .Format() option is ignored, if the column is bound to a nullable DateOnly field.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Declare a nullable DateOnly field in the view model:

public DateOnly? PaymentDate { get; set; }

2. Bind a column to the field and set its format:

columns.Bound(p => p.PaymentDate).Title("Date").Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Width(160);

Current behavior

The specified format is ignored, e.g., the Grid shows 2025-01-21, instead of 01/21/2025

Expected/desired behavior

The specified column format is applied.
