Description

# fails! probably Splinter 0.11.0 error
# selEl.select(opt.value) <============= FAILS, will set the 1-st select in fieldset, regardless we have in selEl only the 2nd one

ie. in code bellow we cannot select 'impact'. Regardless only 'impact' is selected, .select() changes always 'criticity'.

this replacement directly with webdriver works well:
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
    select = Select(self.br.driver.find_element_by_name(selEl.first['name']))
    select.select_by_value(opt.value)  # or .select_by_visible_text('Banana')

class VyjimkyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = VyjimkyForm
    fieldsets = [
        (_("Vyjimky"), {
            'fields': ("vyjimka_id",
                       "name",
                       "reason",
                       ("criticity", "impact", "scope"))
        }),
