Description
It looks like preSelect and server side are incompatible.
When server side is on, pre select neatly selects the right fields in the sub-tables, but it does not result in a (re)load of the data. The first ajax call does not include the searchPanes[colname][0] = value type parameters representing searchPanes = { colname: [value1, value2] } and no second call to server is made.
That should at least be documented.
