I have technicians reporting that they are needing to double click on a dropdown selection, for it to be accepted, when they previously only had to click their selection once. I did perform and update from 8.1.5 to 8.1.14 two days ago. Has anyone else experienced a change in the behavior of some dropdowns? ---

Do you have any scripts that may be interfering? I am able to select on the dropdown component using single clicks in 8.1.14. ---

I do not. The component has two bindings, one to a custom parameter that provides the data set and the other that is bound to a tag so it gets updated with the selection. These have not been changed in over a year. We have had issues with the dropdown not closing after a selection is made. Even then, that single click committed the selection and we just had to click outside of the dropdown for it to close. ---

I would say its a bad or dirty screen, if touch screen. ---

No touch screens. Judging by the responses, this is likely something happening on the particular components and not a system issue. ---

Would you be able to share a project export of the window that has the dropdown component? We will need to see your specific setup to try to replicate it. ---

I don’t think I can, due to IP. Thanks ---

I would say it’s time to call support. Remember the forum is not official support. ---

that’s why I didn’t call support. I have not tried everything yet, it is not time to call support ---

You do your own mental algebra, but at some point its worth asking a subject matter expert for help vs beating your head against a wall. In my experience reports like this have range from user error to a long lived mistake in the PLC programming. Without being about to put eyes on the problem or replicate it there isn’t much that can be done. ---

Similar to Joe.Miller, walking through upgrading the gateway from 8.1.1 to 8.1.44 and found that now all my dropdowns require a double click versus previously only requiring a single click (via mouse click or touchscreen). Nothing jumps out as to a setting to change it to a different option. No fancy scripting that should have created the change to my knowledge. Has anyone had a similar experience and/or determine a root cause for the change? Thanks ---

I think I figured it out. It has to do with whether your dropdown is presented as a list or as a table. When you have the dropdown as a list, then it only requires a single click, when it is a Table it is requiring a double click. Not sure that there is a fix for it. Not sure if anyone within the Ignition software group would like to elaborate here with further details. Thanks ---

Email in to our support department ([https://support.inductiveautomation.com](https://support.inductiveautomation.com)) and tell them to cross-reference IGN-6473, our internal ticket tracking that bug.
