Clicking on a disabled option of select[multiple] doesn't focus the select menu

In Firefox, the select menu is focused when when the disabled option was clicked. In Chrome, it doesn’t focus unless you click around the disabled option.

Is there a way to focus the select menu even if the clicked option is disabled?

If you could focus on it it wouldn’t be disabled.

Only option is disabled, I want to focus the whole select menu.

I’m not sure of the consequences but you could try pointer-events:none on the disable option which should let the click pass through to the select.

select[multiple] {
	height: calc(1.5em + 0.75rem + 2px) !important;
	position: relative;
	
	option {
		padding: 0.375rem 0.75rem;
	}
 option[disabled]{pointer-events:none;}
}
