Since version 1.10.8 adding a mousedown handler on the Select widget is not possible, see [https://jsfiddle.net/rfwmLk4t/1/](https://jsfiddle.net/rfwmLk4t/1/) . My guess is this is a bug, because the comment near to the changed code says an expected behavior is that `3. user defined onMouseDown handler fires`.

This seems to have been caused by this commit [https://github.com/dojo/dijit/commit/9f5957fcba046bee274e6e8de89914c4d9f9aad6](https://github.com/dojo/dijit/commit/9f5957fcba046bee274e6e8de89914c4d9f9aad6)  
I tested, and reverting that commit fixes the issue, but I’m not sure why it was done in the first place.

I haven’t been able to create a dojo account to report the issue properly, I would like it if someone could do so.
