I am not able to reproduce this using Chrome's emulation on that Plunker. Is there any other reliable way to reproduce this?

[nishesj]

I can reproduce this using Chrome's emulation as well.
when the matches are shown eg. if u type A on the input field and if you click the link above the input labeled clicked while the popup is open, the popup should be hidden but remains open.

I'm seeing issues being reported (outside of this library) in regards to Android 5 in chrome where touch events are not firing click events.

Ahh, so this is only reproduceable if you click on a link - it sounds like a potential Android bug, and I am not sure there is much we can do about this.

Seems like related to this angular/angular.js#9872 but not sure ..

I think in light of that Angular issue, we should not hack around that.

I believe that any fix should be made in ngTouch - if you read the issue and the referenced SO link, it provides a good suggestion for how it can be fixed in Angular.
