Description

I noticed this using RANes and the latest integration release. It may have to do with opening the dropdown before it has time to be populated with entries, but either way the result is that the dropdown only shows one entry when deployed, making it difficult to navigate down the list. I cannot reproduce it right now to take a screenshot.

Research direction

Start by testing the linking dialog in RANes with the latest integration release and observe how the dropdown is populated when it opens. Investigate the reported case where only one entry appears; done means the deployed dropdown consistently displays the full list for navigation.
