Stale Element Reference Exception

Here is the code I’m using to select a particular option:

    GlobalVariable.new\_account\_name + '.*', true)```

  

It appears that the selection is working, and in fact the console produces this message:

  

\`\`\`Option at index '2' with labelText 'ZZZ KATALON TEST 10 (Wine) - 29' is selected  using regular expression\`\`\`  

  

This is indeed  the <option> I want to select, however, the console continues with the following error:  

  

```Unable to select option by label 'ZZZ KATALON TEST 10.*' of object 'Object Repository/Add\_License\_2/Page\_eCompli Beverage Compliance On/select\_--Demo Beer (Beer) - 11'  using regular expression (Root cause: org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
