There is no problems with <select> element, it works as expected.

I can select any element from drop-down, but I can't edit <option> text. Since <option> has "contenteditable" attribute set to true, it's text should be editable.

In other words, we should be able to type option text from keyboard if option has "contenteditable" attribute set to true.

This is interesting use case or extension of current Web.
- For menu list <select> element, this is like Windows combo box control.
- For list <select> element, there are no similar thing.

to get opinion from community?

Thanks!
