Description

The HTML elements <select> and <datalist> do not work as expected in the Interaction Mode.

The <select> dropdown was fixed previously but now appears to briefly show in the top left corner before disappearing as can be seen here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select.

The <datalist> dropdown does not appear at all as can be seen here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/datalist.
