Right above a disabled twitter bootstrap 'form-control' input element sits a drop-down list.
<div>
<select>
<option> Option 1 </option>
<option> Option 2 </option>
<option> Option 3 </option>
<option> Option 4 </option>
<option> Option 5 </option>
<option> Option 6 </option>
<option> Option 7 </option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control" id="disabledInput" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input here..." disabled="" />
</div>
When using Internet Explorer 11, clicking on the drop-down and hovering over options that are in front of the disabled input causes the cursor to change to a red stop sign.
Check out the demo (preferably in IE11): http://jsfiddle.net/Lrupx0ca/
This issue seems to be isolated to IE11 only. Other browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and IE10 don't exhibit this behavior. Any ideas on what might be causing this? and any suggestions for fixing or working around this problem?
