Issue with Kendo multiselect and ionic modal

I am having trouble selecting items from a kendo multiselect control, only when it is inside of an ionic modal. The only other post on here that is similar mentions to add data-tap-disabled=“true” and I have done that.

See the topic here: Using Kendo UI Widgets

I have created a kendo dojo that replicates the issue here: http://dojo.telerik.com/@gtripoli/EMARe

Anyone have any ideas?

Telerik is pointing the finger back at Ionic… http://www.telerik.com/forums/kendo-ionic-multiselect-not-selecting-when-inside-of-ionic-modal

Anyone have an idea to solve this?
