Possible enhancement: after a mouse click, set the item to have the .sel class about jquery.sumoselect

Could you please give me an example of this enhancement ? I didn't quite catch your explanation.

a long list, cursor down so first option is selected, use the mouse wheel to scroll down the list, hover over an option (it highlights). If I press cursor down, the list shoots back to the top and selects the second option...

I don't understand, why should the list shoot back up to the top after you select an option?
The hovered styles are already applied, take a look at the 3rd search demo for the scrolling behavior.

I'm not selecting (i.e. click) an option, just mouse hovering (but the highlighting of the option and makes it look selected)...
Here are the steps to reproduce using the "optgroup Support" demo (PS. optgroups are nothing to do with the behaviour):
Click on the dropdown.
Cursor down (Saab is highlighted).
Scroll the list down to the "Italian brands" section using the wheel or scrollbar.
Mouse hover over "fiat". It highlights "fiat"
Cursor down (the list returns to the top and highlights/selects "Opel")
which performs quite differently to a regular SELECT.

Hopefully this makes more sense...

This is a non-issue for me.
The item selected via the arrows, has a blue highlight, where as the item hovered by mouse has a grey highlight.

They are 2 different focuses.
