Partial Update doesn't render when tab is hidden

We have a real time feed that updates modifications to our pivot, we acomplish it using the updateData({data:myData},{partial:true}).
It all works just fine when the pivot is in the foreground but we noticed inconsistencies where pivots were not up to date some times.
 
After testing different situations we found that when the pivot was inside a 'kendo' tab and this tab not in the foreground but hidden under a different 'tab' the grid dataset was still getting updated but the HTML was never repainted, called a in my pivot refresh whenever a tab came into focus and had received updates while not visible and 'fixed' my issue (partially because now I see quantities updated but I don't see the coloring rules I had on it, highlighting the updates for a sec)
The question is the following:
Is there any enhancement for such behavior where either the grid queues updates while it detects is not visible to apply later when it is?  Should the grid update the DOM when not visible (this last at least would not cause a visual changes)?
