Angular ui-select is not displaying the list of options when included in angular-ui-bootstrap modal

Question

I am facing an issue with the anular-ui-bootstrap modal directive. Am using the angular's ui-select component in my app as a replacement for the html select. This ui-select is working fine in any page it is being included. But when i tried to include it in a modal pop up(using ui-bootstrap $modal service), the drop-down is not displaying the options

The issue is reproduced here

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('ModalInstanceCtrl', function ($scope, $modalInstance, items) {
  $scope.addresses = [{
  "id":1,
    "name": "chennai"
  }, {
    "id":2,
    "name": "banglore"
  }, {
    "id":3,
    "name": "madurai"
  }];
});

 <div class="modal-body">
        City
            <ui-select ng-model="selAddress">
                <ui-select-match placeholder="Choose an address">{{$select.selected.name}}</ui-select-match>
                <ui-select-choices repeat="address in addresses track by $index" refresh-delay="0">
                    <div ng-bind-html="address.a | highlight: $select.search"></div>
                </ui-select-choices>
            </ui-select>
            
            Selected: <b>{{ selAddress }}</b>
        </div>

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem, to resolve it I just install select2 https://www.npmjs.com/package/select2 and i import on my component who use ui-select like this:

import uiSelect from 'ui-select'
import 'ui-select/dist/select.min.css'
import 'select2/select2.css'

const myModule = angular.module("myModule", [ uiSelect ]);

<ui-select
        multiple
        ng-model="$ctrl.personSelected"
        close-on-select="false"
        theme="select2"
        style="width:100%"
        class="form-group"
>
    <ui-select-match>{{$item}}</ui-select-match>
    <ui-select-choices repeat="person in $ctrl.listPerson">
        {{ person.name }}
    </ui-select-choices>
</ui-select>

I ran into this (or something similar) with ngDialog. I fixed my problem by adding a ng-hide attribute like so:

<ui-select-choices repeat="..." ng-hide="!$select.open">

This fixed the problem that I had where select-choices was given a ng-hide empty attribute by the component for some reason internally when in a dialog. Hope this helps you workaround this issue as well.
