FilterRow incorrectly highlights/selects filter criterion when inside a DetailConfiguration

I am having a problem when I add a FilterRow to the DetailConfiguration headers. When applied to a DataGridControl.View.FixedHeader, the criteria entered in the FilterRow automatically filters the results. The more criteria entered, the more the results are filtered. However when the same DataTemplate is applied to a DetailConfiguration.Headers element, the criteria works until you pause typing. After the pause, the results are filtered but the criteria becomes highlighted/selected. If the user continues typing, the old criteria is remove/replaced. This is causing some confusion with the users.

The documentation listed here in the Filtering Details Group states: "In addition to filtering the data items in a grid, a filter row can also be added to the headers or footers of a detail configuration" and 'Filter rows that are contained in the headers or footers of a group behave in the same manner as those contained in the headers or footers of a grid". This apparently is not the case. Please advise.

The problem can be easily reproduced by adding the following code to the SubEmployeesDetailConfigurations.xaml in the MasterDetail sample. Then slowly using the FilterRow to filter on the Sub Employee Last Name.

        <xcdg:DetailConfiguration.Headers>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Border Height="22">
                    <xcdg:FilterRow Height="22"
                                    SelectionBackground="LightGray"
                                    BorderBrush="Black"
                                    BorderThickness="1">
                    </xcdg:FilterRow>
                </Border>
            </DataTemplate>
        </xcdg:DetailConfiguration.Headers>
