Kendo UI Editor : nodeName undefined in jQuery 2.0+

Question

Using Kendo UI's awesome kendoEditor, I am experiencing a bit of an annoying issue when coupling it with jQuery 2.0 or higher. This starts happening as soon as I use a version of jQuery higher than 1.8.

I have reproduced the problem here, using kendo's latest build; But basically, when you create an editor, if you try to use the indent functionality on the first line, you receive this error...

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'nodeName' of null

Is there anything I can do about this? It isn't completely 'breaking', but it sure is obnoxious.

Without digging deep into this issue, you should be using latest Kendo build with corresponding jQuery version which is this case is 1.9.1. and it is included in the download package. Kendo relies on features from 1.9.1, by giving it 2.0 you will face compatibility issues.
