Hi Everyone,

After upgrading Ignition from 8.3.3 to 8.3.6 yesterday, I noticed an issue with the Perspective Form Dropdown component behavior. It is happening in designer preview and client session.

Previously, the dropdown options list would open directly below the dropdown field as expected. After the upgrade, the popup appears detached/floating lower on the screen. No stylesheet or styling applied on this form component.

I have attached a screenshot below.

Has anyone else experienced this after upgrading to 8.3.6?  
Is this a known regression/change in dropdown popup positioning behavior?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I reached out to IA support, and this is a known bug introduced in version **8.3.5**.

It is fixed and will be officially released in version **8.3.7**.

**Temporary CSS Workaround**

Until the update, add this to your `stylesheet.css` to fix the positioning:

CSS

```python
/* form dropdown options parent */ 
.component-modal-wrapper { 
 position: absolute; 
 top:40px; 
} 

/* form dropdown options. Drilled from component-modal-wrapper */ 
/* to avoid affecting normal dropdown components */ 
.component-modal-wrapper .iaDropdownCommon_options_modal{ 
 top:0 !important; 
 left:0 !important; 
}

```

Thanks !
