I've just installed v8.1.42 and it seems that the `style.classes` are missing their dropdown options:

Is this the behavior you see for all classes properties or is it on a specific component? I am using 8.1.42 and my classes property has the dropdown.  
Do you have any style classes defined?

You need to define some styles and probably get some sleep after Build-a-thon.

No, do I need them defined to use them?? 🤣 (rhetorical question)

You guys are both on the money here 🤦‍♂️  
I created a new test project without inheriting a project, and running on only 4 hrs sleep, I just expected I could access my classes... oops
