Validation settings are ignored after applyBindings() is called

[phobos2077]

I'm using bootstrap with bootstrap modals. I have main viewModel for page itself (applyBindings() on main content DIV element) and another viewModel for my modal window (another call to applyBindings()). If I apply bindings to modal DIV before I do the same for main page DIV, settings applied to ko.validation.init() are ignored.

BUT it does work if I do any of the following:

• Call applyBindings() first on the modal and then on the page.
• Instead of applyBindings() I call applyBindingsToNode() and then applyBindingsToDescendants() for modal.
• Call ko.validation.init() before first call to applyBindings() on the page.
• Use applyBindingsWithValidation() instead of applyBindings() for view modal where I need custom validation settings.

Ok now I understand what's actually happening. If applyBindings() is called on any element BEFORE ko.validation.init(), than these settings stop working.
