Context: There is an item that illustrates the issue here: https://www.telerik.com/forums/kendo-datepicker-value-not-populated-after-refresh-firefox-only

In Firefox, when using the asp-for tag helper to bind a c# DateTime field to an input element, then calling kendoDatePicker() on that element, the control fails to populate on a soft-refresh (F5). Upon reloading using F5 in Firefox, the input's type is set to datetime-local, and the input 's control variation is changed to the default date picker.  Then, the Kendo UI DatePicker is initialized with a blank input which normally has a type of text. 

Example project and video of issue are attached.

This is the pertinent code (also happens in latest version of Kendo as well):

    public class IndexViewModel
    {
        public DateTime DateAsDateTime { get; set; }
    }

        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(new IndexViewModel { DateAsDateTime = DateTime.Today });
        }

@model IndexViewModel

<input id="dtDate" asp-for="@Model.DateAsDateTime">

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#dtDate").kendoDatePicker();
    });
</script>

The Kendo UI ListView widget supports setting the selected items via the select method. Up to version 2022.2.802, calling select() triggered a change event. This is no longer the case.

You can see the different behaviors in these two DOJOS: 2022.2.802 vs 2023.1.117 (the item gets selected after a second to make sure the dataSource has finished loading).
