This appears to be a usage question, rather than a bug report or feature request. Please see our contributing guidelines.

Usage questions should be discussed on the forums instead.


This issue does not appear to conform to our contributing guidelines.

Please re-read the contributing guidelines carefully and then edit your question. Once your issue complies with the guidelines, we can reopen it.


Hi X, please try to use Markdown to format your example code. This makes it easier for others to read and understand. I have fixed it for you this time, but you should learn how to use Markdown to improve the way you communicate with other developers in the future.


Hi X, and welcome to Select2! It is unclear from your statement, whether you believe this to be a bug, or if you are asking for usage and implementation help.

If you are just looking for usage help, you should post to the forums instead.

If you believe this to be a bug, you must create a minimal, complete, and verifiable example using our JSBin template.

Please re-read the contributing guidelines carefully and then edit your question. Once your issue complies with the guidelines, we can reopen it.


I'm reopening this issue because it sounds like some people are still experiencing the problem.

Unfortunately, it really isn't that helpful to just say "it's still not working". Saying that someone's patch fixed your particular problem is not helpful either, because I have no idea what your code looks like, so I don't know if it's a bug in Select2 or just a problem with the way you're using Select2.

If you want to be really helpful, please try to do the following:

Create a functioning example in http://jsbin.com or another online JS runner that fully demonstrates the problem, with a minimum of other unrelated content.

If you have a patch to Select2 that you believe solves the problem:

Don't just post it in the issue comments. This isn't how open source works in 2017. Clone the repo, implement changes in src/, and submit a pull request. If you don't know how to do this, learn. This is a skill that every software developer needs in today's world.


This appears to be a support question, rather than a feature request or bug report. So, I am closing it.

If you have discovered an underlying bug causing this problem, please search the open issues and comment there (or if an issue specifically about the underlying bug is not already open, you may open a new one - just make sure it identifies the underlying bug).

If, on the other hand, this is simply a matter of using Select2's features properly, it should be discussed on the forums instead.
