I need to show a multiselect dropdown with more than 1 lakh options. When tried to give an array of more than 1 lakh numbers (each option will look like: 12345-67589-10) the browser stucks and i need to close window and restart browser again. I used limitTo in ng-repeat. Still got issue. The problem is with watch function for options.- 

scope.$watch(function () {
            return parsedResult.source(originalScope);
        }, function (newVal) {
        if (angular.isDefined(newVal))
            parseModel();
        }, true);

Please give a fix for this asap. I am stuck with this. I need to show a multiselect dropdown with more than 1 lakh options.

Dropdown with hundred thousand items is poor choice of UI and I'm pretty sure any dropdown library would fail to render these number of items. Rethink your design to use server side search. If you think you can solve with this multiselect library, you are welcome to create PR.
