Description

When loading a search with complex criteria (it seems that it only happens when you have nested conditions) through the rebuild method, I've observed that multiple draw events are triggered. The issue can be replicated on the following example: https://live.datatables.net/vazuwuza/3/

Research direction

Start with the linked reproduction at https://live.datatables.net/vazuwuza/3/ and trace the rebuild method and the draw-event path it triggers, focusing on nested conditions. Confirm how many draw events occur during the rebuild. Done means the same complex search rebuild produces only the intended draw event.
