Dropdowns don't display correct value when html is detached and then re-attached

[shahmirn]

Using $compile and then linking to scope, then detaching html and then re-attaching; select with regular options doesn't show the correct option selected, while select with ng-options does show the correct value.

@shahmirn this is not correct usage of AngularJS. DOM modifications like this are discouraged (especially done in a controller!).

Anyway, it sounds more like a general question about AngularJS usage and architecture and not a bug report / feature request. As such would be better asked on the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/group/angular), StackOverflow or the IRC (#angularjs) channel. The mailing list is very active and people there will be happy to help.

I'm going to close this ticket now as we would like to keep GitHub issues for bug reports and future requests only. Please feel free to reopen it if you still believe that there is a bug in AngularJS.
