Logs or notes

I have tested the dropdown field on other themes like Twenty Twenty-Four, Annalee, and Outland. The issue does not occur on those themes. So it seems to only be an issue when using the Assembler theme.

Ideally there's a solution that resolves this as other themes does.

Recent build where the customer specifically requested for a dropdown field in their form. I used the CSS workaround for now.

Sorry, I think you assigned me to this and it got lost into a sea of notifications, I'm looking at it

I'm investigating this. So far I know that the culprit is this line:

themes/assembler/style.css

Line 75 in fb9d983

padding: 0.8rem 1rem;

It looks like grunion (I thought that was deprecated, but some of the code lives in jetpack apparently) is doing some weird class swapping around, and if we modify the padding of the input element it preaks the arrow for the select. It's really hard to debug because the plugin is doing something with class swapping and rewriting the CSS, so it's not as simple as overriding the class. It was a matter of trial and error to actually verify that the selector apparently causing this problem is in fact input:not([type="submit"]):not([type="radio"]) when the element we are targeting is a select!!!

My suggestion is to remove the padding altogether or to target only the specific types that we want to modify and not try and target the general input element for this.
