I have a drop down navigation menu in which some of the title should not navigate to other page when clicked(these title open a drop down menu when clicked on) while others
I faced similar issues:
I faced this issue in a directive, i fixed it adding a as its parent element and making pointer-events:none for that
The above fix did not work for select tag, then i added cursor:text (which was what i wanted) and it worked for me
If a normal cursor is needed you could add cursor:default
