Disabling ui-select applies .ng-hide to input box

[punmechanic]

Is there any reason for this? I would have expected the input box to remain visible but just be grayed out.

[punmechanic]

In order to hack-fix remedy this, I've removed the ng-hide="$select.disabled" directive from the bootstrap/select-multiple.tpl.html template on my local copy. Is the only 'real' work-around to supply a custom template via themes?

+1 any css workaround?

[wesleycho]

Having the input be displayed when disabled actually results in text display bugs involving CSS - is there a compelling reason why it must be shown?

[punmechanic]

Because otherwise the input box disappears completely and thus looks very strange - especially to the user. We've had questions about this from our end users, which is why I removed it

I'll try and throw together a plunkr tomorrow when I am back in the office.

Further, at least with the "fix" I've posted above, we've not noticed any CSS bugs on any of the browsers we cover (IE11 - IE9, Chrome 48) with the bootstrap theme (maybe it is causing issues with other themes)

You can see this on the example page by clicking on "Disable ui-select" and looking at the input under "Deselect callback with single property binding".

(Specifically, this is very apparent when you're using multiple and disabled simultaneously and the selection is empty.)

@wesleycho Any updates on this? I think we can at least drop the needs info/plunkr labels at this point. I'm happy to help in any way I can.
