Click on scrollbar closes dropdown list in IE inside a bootstrap modal #592

Description

When the selectize control is inside a bootstrap modal, the following fix doesn't work:

    // necessary to prevent IE closing the dropdown when the scrollbar is clicked
    if (!self.ignoreBlur && document.activeElement === self.$dropdown_content[0]) {
        self.ignoreBlur = true;
        self.onFocus(e);
        return;
    }

The fix is not applied because document.activeElement is the bootstrap modal element
instead of the selectize dropdown content. So it seems the document.activeElement === self.$dropdown_content[0] condition does not cover all cases.

Here the plugin I made to fix it (maybe a bit too much, but it's what I found to work):

    Selectize.define('fix_dropdown_click_outside_item', function(options) {
        var self = this;
        var _setup = self.setup;

        self.setup = function() {
            var $document = $(document);
            _setup.apply(self, arguments);
            // Fix problem with the ignored click events in the toolbar
            $document.off('mousedown' + self.eventNS);
            $document.on('mousedown' + self.eventNS, function(e) {
                if (self.isFocused) {
                    // prevent events on the dropdown scrollbar from causing the control to blur
                    if (self.$dropdown.is(e.target) || self.$dropdown.has(e.target).length > 0) {
                        self.ignoreFocus = true;
                        window.setTimeout(function(){
                            self.$control_input[0].focus();
                        }, 0);
                        return false;
                    }
                    // blur on click outside
                    if (!self.$control.has(e.target).length && e.target !== self.$control[0]) {
                        self.ignoreFocus = false;
                        self.blur();
                    }
                }
            });
        };
    });
