jquery/jquery-mobile — Issue #3184: select doesn't open on keypress

State: open

A standard select will open when pressing a key to jump to options that start with that letter. A jQuery Mobile select will still change the value, but will not visibly display the options.

To reproduce:

# Visit http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/forms/selects/
# Tab to get the focus on the US States select element #select-choice-2
# Type the "L" key

A standard select would open the options and jump to "Louisiana". This select element is changing the value to Louisiana, but there is no visual indication that it is happening.
