Sortable: Cannot open selects when using "filter"

[garygreen]

Problem:

When using filter option to restrict dragging certain items, it prevents being able to open selects etc within that item.

I suspect this is because it intercepts the mousedown event and does some kind of preventDefault.

JSBin/JSFiddle demonstrating the problem:

Try setting the preventOnFilter option to false.

That works! Thanks a lot Owen. Out of interest what does that option actually do? Is there a reason why it's not enabled by default?

It stops preventDefault from being called when the drag is filtered out. It isn't false by default because previous maintainer wanted to keep backwards compatibility.
