Problem recording dropdown created with 'Chosen' javascript plugin

Hi,
I am new to sahi and started evaluation it today - sadly I ran right into a problem with my first testcase:
We have some Chosen (as I cannot post links: if you don't know Chosen just google for 'javascript chosen' - it's the first hit) dropdowns which autocommit a form by selecting a value, but sahi isn't able to record them. Hovering over the entry with CTRL pressed and using the 'click' function to record the selection doesn't work either.
Is this a know issue? Or, maybe anyone can point me in the right direction to find a workaround...
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Are you able to launch the controller? Since when i tried for the first time i was not able to launch the controller because of some data been blocked.
Now i m able to CTRL+Hover on the elements.
If you are trying to select the dropdown items then use
_setSelected(element, option_identifier, isMultiple) API.
You can find the details about the API in Sahi's website.
Also, let me know if you are able to identify other elements on the specified site?

We are able to identify the choosen dropdown elements in sahi.
Sahi able to identify the elements more efficiently than anyother tool.
Can you please restart the sahi and check if it is able to identify the elements.
