Filterbar ignoring first special character and don't pass it to filterFn if defined

[chuckn0rris]

onStoreBeforeFilter in FilterBar don't pass parsed operator to filterFn from filter field, that we recognized in parseFilterValue.

Hello,

Attached is a gif captured from: Grid.feature.FilterBar
We would want to use the filterbar feature and add functionality for special characters ( =, *, <, >). The problem is that, bryntum is ignoring these special characters if it is the first character in the filter string if the filterFn is defined. Is there a way so that byrntum would stop ignoring the first special character?

Many thanks,
Chardine
