The issue concerns drop-down menus not displaying on a Discourse site. Engineer_Abdallah reported the problem, which persisted across browsers and themes, even after reverting to the default. NateDhaliwal confirmed it occurred in safe mode, suggesting a deeper issue. chapoi identified that the dropdown elements were present but positioned offscreen due to incorrect X coordinates, particularly affecting RTL languages. Engineer_Abdallah confirmed the issue began after a recent update and resolved when switching to English. chapoi moved the topic to the bug category and confirmed it could be reproduced with RTL. The issue was resolved in pull request 36593, as noted by cvx.
Hello everyone
I think I’m having a problem with the drop-down menus; they’re not showing up. I’ve rebuilt the system, and the problem isn’t with the theme (because I reverted to the default theme, and the problem persists).
I’ve tried multiple browsers, and the problem is the same!
Hi there, does this happen in safe mode?
No, I was in normal mode. You can confirm this here:
enghub.site
Alright, so I have taken a look at your site, and it happens even in safe mode. Inspecting the page shows the list when the dropdown is opened, just that it isn’t shown. Very odd. I wonder… could this be an effect on RTL languages? (EDIT: Perhaps not)
The dropdown is on the page, just positioned offscreen so you can’t see it. Very odd.
More specifically: it’s the X coordinate that’s totally wrong.
@Engineer_Abdallah Did this start happening with the latest update?
I downloaded Discourse today
Moving this to bug, can repro locally with RTL language.
Yes, when I convert to English language
All things are good
Fixed in FIX: Correctly place select-kit dropdown in RTL mode by cvx · Pull Request #36593 · discourse/discourse · GitHub. Thank you for reporting this issue!
