I have a simple `<input type="select">` with a few options in my app.  
After update to Aluminum version nothing happens when I select an option in the select. I’m using Firefox.  
In Chrome I can’t even select an item, the list shows and hides quickly.

Is anyone facing the same problem?

Thanks.

Are you using this type of select:

```auto
<div class="list">

  <div class="item item-input item-select">
    <div class="input-label">
      Lightsaber
    </div>
    <select>
      <option>Blue</option>
      <option selected>Green</option>
      <option>Red</option>
    </select>
  </div>

</div>

```

If not, can you setup a CodePen sample please?

It is exactly like your code. I tested on my device and it worked well.  
I opened the console and there is log `clickPrevent OPTION`. Ionic may be preventing my click actions and waiting for “tap” actions.

Does it happen when you use the CodePen sample I showed? If not, can you make a CodePen sample that demonstrate the problem?
