Dropdown box is not stretching in flex container.

I noticed this as well. as a workaround you can add it into a row flex container sandwiched between two labels with 0px and set the dropdown to grow

I don’t see the described behavior in RC3. We did fix many things between RC2 and RC3 so it’s entirely possible this could have been fixed by unexpectedly-related changes. If you’d like to send me the View you encountered this on I could take a look to see if there is something else going on.
