Possible IE Bug - Multi-Select drop-down Flicker

[Eric J at FADV]

We have incorporated the MultiSelect control into our project and are experiencing strange behavior with the control. I wonder if others have complained of the same problem.

In IE, the drop-down list upon a mouse-click flickers real fast , as if the drop-down window is opening and closing almost instantly, basically forcing the user to click inside the container twice to display the list of items. Again this only appears to happen in IE, Firefox and Crrome seem to be working fine.

Is this a known issue or am I the first to report this?

Hello Eric,

I can't seem to reproduce such a problem on our online demos. Can you?

http://demos.kendoui.com/web/multiselect/index.html

If the online demo works OK on your side too, please provide a runnable example for additional testing, and specify which IE version you are using.

I have the same issue. I created a kendo dropdownlist and populated the items from Viewbag. I have the same issue that when i click on the dropdown, it opens the dropdown window quickly and closes for the first time. it works perfectly after that. So users effectively need to click twice to select an item. 

I am using IE9 and this behavior is not there in Chrome. For your reference, I am pasting the code below.

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
                          .Name("LSource")
                          .DataTextField("Description")
                          .DataValueField("LSource")
                          .OptionLabel("NONE")
                          .Events(e => e.Select("onLSourceSelect"))
                          .BindTo(ViewBag.LSources)
                        )
Any help is appreciated.

I tried the below simple block of code

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
.Name("size")
.BindTo(new List<string>() {
"S - 6 3/4\"",
"M - 7 1/4\"",
"L - 7 1/8\"",
"XL - 7 5/8\""
})
This also has the flickering issue. 
Please help

Sirs,

I am experiencing the same issue in IE10 using a @Kendo(). DropdownListFor controls. I have about 5 in a App and they are all doing the same "Flicker: action spoken of by other posters. However, mine do not even work if you click them twice. Between the "Flicker" you can see that there is data in them. Also they work fine in Chrome. I have not seen a resolution the the issue posted. Has there been one? The control below is being feed from a Web Service. Others are feed from Database Key value pairs. So the data model does not seem the be the problem. Could this be a Script or Script reference issue? I managed to get a screen shot of the control as it is open for a split second I don't know that it shows much but it is attached.

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.Agency)
                      .Name("Agency")
                      .OptionLabel("Select an Agency....")
                      .HtmlAttributes(new {style = "width: 350px"})
                      .DataTextField("code")
                      .DataValueField("code")
                      .Filter("contains")
                      .DataSource(source =>
                      {
                          source.Read(read =>
                          {
                              read.Action("agencies_read", "IOTDBBillingAdmin");
                          }).ServerFiltering(false);
                      })

                      .Events(e => e.Change("onAgencyChange"))
                      )
