Try turning off search on the dropdown and see if that corrects the issue. That functionality can make text appear off screen for some reason.

> The ones on top are after searching? You can try play with the style overflow tho not sure if it will help. edit after test: Oh i see, once you select an option and then open up the dropdow again it indeed seems to space out to the left. This only seems to happen if search is enabled tho, the text gets pushed to the left so that the cursor is visible in the dropdown
