@levithomason I'm not sure that this behaviour is bug. Can you clarify?

Based on stackoverflow question.

[levithomason]

I believe this is the expected behavior and in line with SUIR core:
http://semantic-ui.com/modules/dropdown#dropdown

The difference we have is that the dropdown is not making Category 1 active on blur, whereas, SUIR core would. We are also changing the placeholder rather than the text. This makes our interaction more jarring than SUIR core.

Proposals, on selected (highlighted) item change:

• change the text, not the placeholder, for selection
• change the placeholder only for search Dropdowns
• do not change text for regular Dropdown menus

(I responded on SO as well)

We've largely addressed these issues now in the latest version. Feel free to open if you think more needs done.

@levithomason I reopened this issue because it wasn't fixed and I want to pick up it.

Hi, I'm needing this exact behaviour as well, as described by levithomason. I'd be happy to come on as a test resource.
