iOS < 10: Impossible to select specific items in DropDown when input has focus
Selecting items in a DropDown control is nearly impossible on IOS 9 and older if the control was initially given focus (input area clicked rather than just opened using arrow icon).
See short video gif demonstrating the problem. The pointer simulating a finger is slightly off but that's not the problem. The blue animation revealing clicks are accurate. Notice how the nodes I click are not the nodes receiving the click event.
Obviously the wrong element receiving the click event is related to the keyboard sliding up, but there also seems to be a problem with focus not being properly preserved which is the reason the keyboard keeps sliding up and down. Apple has fixed the problems with iOS 10+.
Tested today with iOS 9.3.5 on an iPad Mini 1, and the keyboard does not re-emerge when selecting items. It hides and stays hidden. I wonder if the demonstration given in the issue description is caused by being run in an emulator or whether it requires and older revision of iOS 9, or a small screen like the iPhone SE. In any case, the control is still fairly complex for a mobile device. We should consider an optimized experience. I change this issue from Bug to Minor Bug though.
