1429350 - Disabled option element for "multiple=true" select is clickable (receives focus)

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Events, enhancement, P3)

Description

As given by the HTML spec a disabled option should not receive any click event:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#attr-option-disabled

> An option element that is disabled must prevent any click events that are queued on the user interaction task source from being dispatched on the element.

But the example here shows that this is happening for disabled option elements in case of multiple=true select elements. Without the multiple attribute, no click event is triggered.
