Select dropdown list will fail if the Select is closed with />

[grantnilsson]

Is it expected that a <Select... dropdown list will not work if you close it with />
versus closing with >, even if there are no options?

I created an enum list and coded the Select as below
<select asp-for="FinancialStartMonth" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<CalendarMonth>()" class="form-control" />
and the select list (even when populated with correct data refused to show data and it absorbed the next tag as well (even though it was ooutside the current

block

the only way it work was to close using >

I figured this was a bug? comments?

@grantnilsson this is the current design but we have a few issues (open and closed) on the behaviour:

• textarea with asp-for not filled aspnet/Mvc#3964
• SelectTagHelper generates invalid markup when using self-closing tag aspnet/Mvc#4058
• Show warning when non-void element has an end tag aspnet/Tooling#398
