Setting the value of a select element if an onChange event causes the page to reload will throw an exception

Originally created by Ellery Crane.

If you have javascript onChange event handlers on a select element that change the window.location, using Geb to set the value of the select will throw a org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException. Example:

Ima Robot Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Alexander

Then, in the test:

when:
$("form").artist = 3
then:
thrown(org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException)

Happens for radio buttons as well.
