Selectmenu (select box) widget still useless... can anyone else verify?
In jQM alpha 2, the selectmenu widget for creating nice select boxes was basically unusable to me because it contained really bad bugs that caused javascript errors with the hashtag page tracking and had a lot of display bugs as well. Specifically the biggest issue was when you had a select box with several option items... it creates a full-sized page that acts as a dialog to display the option menus as opposed to when the list is short and it generates an overlay on the same active page. My original post of the problem is located at:

So I just upgraded to jQM alpha 3 since I heard it may have solved the issue and while it doesn't have random display issues and doesn't trigger javascript errors, it still is completely broken. Looking for someone else to verify this as well to make sure somehow it isn't just me or maybe there's some known information on this already. I created a test page off of my root application page and added a select box with several menu items so that it will create a dialog page to display them. I click the select box and it opens the large dialog with my options... click an option or just click the X to close the window without making a selection... then click back on the browser... blank page. Try clicking forward... blank page. I really don't think it's just me but this is a really, really bad bug because if that's the case then the select menu widget is again just unusable at all in its current state. It doesn't even seem like anyone tested it since it's such an obvious bug that I found within the first minute of testing it out. Anyone have any insight here? Thanks!!
