Sorry, I didn't intend for you to use http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_optgroup.asp to test the bug. I just wanted it as a reference to which HTML tag I was talking about. 

However after some experimenting I've realized this bug only occurs when there is an optgroup tag AND if the select tag has a SIZE.

Please go to http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_optgroup.asp again, click 'Try it yourself' then replace the content they have to the content below then click 'Edit and Click me:

<select>
  <optgroup label="Swedish Cars" size="5">
    <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
    <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="German Cars">
    <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
    <option value="audi">Audi</option>
  </optgroup>
</select> 

Now if you attempt to choose an option from this new drop-down list via an iPad, the browser will crash. Hope that clears things up.
