I think this is very close to issue 256.

I am not able to reproduce this. You are going to have to debug this locally. 
There is not much to it though. The place to look is in the jquery.jmesa.js 
file at the createDroplistDynFilter() method.

I had almost the same issue when i used dynFilters.
My jmesa table updates every 10 seconds by making an ajax request, so if the 
filter is used when the request is sent, then the table updates but the filter 
cannot be accessed anymore (you cannot click on the filter to access the 
filter's input field).

After a short debugging i realized that the problem is from the 
createDynFilter() method, the dynFilter is not set to null if it is opened 
while the request is sent.

So i needed to check if the filter is visible before returning the created 
dynFilter, or else create a new one.

Line 456:
if (dynFilter) {
   // return only if dynFilter is visible
   // In my case i had just one filter so i checked:
   // document.getElementsByClassName("dynFilter")[0].style.overflow == "visible"
   return;
}
