What does it say about human psychology that developers so often confidently assume that they can just re-implement built in HTML functionality that browser developers have spent countless hours on.
Not just web devs, of course, but that's where I most often run into this. But also definitely looking at y'all hand-rolling GUIs in SDL.

@neauoire Real dropdown or spicy <div>?
We have a password entry field in our (vibecoded 
) $dayjob project that clears itself when you navigate to it. And a <textarea> reimplementation that doesn't respect tab navigation... and probably a lot more.
@csepp trying to figure it out, there's an actual <select> element, but the whole element vanishes from the DOM when I right click on it.
@csepp reading this, meanwhile in another tab, I'm trying in vain to select an option in a dropdown on my bank's website and it keeps selecting the item right above it.
