Prevent dropdown close on selection with multiple attribute

[AntiFreez]

I tried to prevent dropdown closing, when user selects item from the list. Therefore, i have created "extended" directive and overrode standard behaviour of the select method. And it works, but only in case of selection by keyboard. The problem, that link function adds event listener on document click to provide dropdown closing, when user clicks outside component.

function onDocumentClick(e) {
   var contains = false;

   if (window.jQuery) {
      // Firefox 3.6 does not support element.contains()
      // See Node.contains https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node.contains
      contains = window.jQuery.contains(element[0], e.target);
    } else {
       contains = element[0].contains(e.target);
    }

    if (!contains) {
       $select.close();
       scope.$digest();
    }
}

And this listener always closes dropdown when user selects item by mouseclick.
Here is my example http://plnkr.co/edit/sNNgeO4epaMUZosqpAir?p=info

Would you like to add this functionality to standard behaviour?

I was actually looking at doing this myself to get parity with select2's closeOnSelect.

'If set to false the dropdown is not closed after a selection is made, allowing for rapid selection of multiple items. By default this option is set to true. Only applies when configured in multi-select mode.'

This is the close function: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select/blob/master/src/select.js#L350 ... You should be able to extend select to have a attribute and then determine if that is true and if the close was from a selection you could prevent the default action there.

Thank you for response, but as I mentioned the problem is in onDocumentClick handler. It is necessary to execute "close" then user clicks outside the component. But onDocumentClick is populated in link function and I can't override this behaviour outside the component. This handler always closes dropdown.

Looks like #362 solved it
