Problem as stated in the question, these are the errors I get (included so people can find this post when they get the same error in the future) but the full explanation is in the link above >< 

Using Firefox:

ElementNotInteractableException:  Element <option> could not be scrolled into view

Using Chrome: 

ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible: Element is not currently visible and may not be manipulated

Hi,

Make sure you select the option only once you click on the Select element.

Please find the Logic mentioned below:

<select id="Day">

<option value="">1</option>

<option value="">2</option>

</select>

Before selecting the option try this way

driver.findElement(By.id("Day")).click();//Let the list is activated..

Go for selection now..new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("Day")).selectByVisibleText("1");

Unforunately I get this error...

AttributeError: 'Select' object has no attribute 'click'

In fact when I hover over the select section in the element tag of the developer tools, I don't see anything highlighted on the actual page..

Can you check there is an arrow available for the Listbox. Get the properties of the arrow and click on it.

I elaborated in the Stack Overflow post but not here but... I can click on the list. I just can't select the option. Is there a way I can click on the option without the Select module?

Yes it can be done. by Taking the Xpath of the Option available in the Listbox.
