Select option with 'disabled' attribute is not selected by default when model value is empty.

Dear team,

I've noticed that <option value="" disabled> is not selected by default when model valus is empty. It works correctly when I set ng-disabled="true" attribute instead, though.

This issue started affecting our application after we updated angular from 1.2.5 to 1.2.16.

I've created plunker with example of this issue: http://plnkr.co/edit/CZ3vUYhOkF1c8feFxcDq?p=preview

Reproducable: always
Browsers: Chrome 31, Firefox 26
Operating system: Ubuntu 13.04

Thanks for reporting this issue. It looks like the root cause of this issue is the same as in #6828 and that the same fix #7136 fixes this issue too.
Closing this so this issue is handled in one place

I am bumping into this one too. ng-disabled="true" is not fixing for me in IE9.
