Doesn’t happen in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on Desktop, so it seems like a bug in iOS with how `position: fixed;` is handled…

I will have a look dropdowns inside modals are ultra tricky.

Also transform might cause issues with z index.

ok, one thing that might help… it happens in the poll modal, but not with selecting a region in the dates modal

Fixed here

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/0c94e7b0896b6c3f2e27780fdbcb75fd527270b1](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/0c94e7b0896b6c3f2e27780fdbcb75fd527270b1)

Adding `position: relative;` to `.modal-body` fixes it in iOS for some reason… definitely seems to be another iOS-specific quirk.
