The web page has been built using Angular. Please try to induce Explicit waits with Select class.

Select dropdown = new Select(wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//select[@name='selectedUser' and @id='LOGON_selectedUser' and @onchange]"))));
dropdown.selectByIndex(1);

or if that does not work, the below should work

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return document.getElementById('LOGON_selectedUser').selectedIndex = '" + index + "';)

where index is a variable, try to pass index number like 1,2,3 and so on...
