Focused elements prevent refresh

[jbrooksuk]

At least on OSX with Chrome, pressing Super+R when inside an element will prevent the page refresh from occurring. Native elements don't do this, so it breaks convention. Perhaps have it as an option, default to allow refresh.

I'm having troubles replicating with the current version (0.8.0). Is it still a problem?

I can confirm that this problem still occurs even on 0.8.4 (and on the version at http://brianreavis.github.io/selectize.js/), at least, on Windows with Chrome.

The bug appears to only apply to single item selects. Ex on your exemple page: Single Item Select.
Simply select one entry, then, reclick on the select control (the caret will the position itself at the end of the text) and the dropdown will open. In that scenario, hitting F5 does nothing. Reclicking on the control to collapse the dropdown does not allow F5 to work either.

Also, F1 does not trigger the browser's help in those scenarios, but that is of very low importance compared to the page refresh ;)

I don't think the F1-12 keys can be fixed, unfortunately. Detecting their keyCodes is kind of a no-no (given how keyCodes are inconsistent across browsers).
