Mention width change problem on questions list page too
  • On the filters tab of the user page, there is a drop down box called "Predefined Filters":
  • ![The filters section of the user page, showing a drop down box set to "None"](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/dlpy0afqr0baf3lz02ld36d3a49f)
  • On mobile, tapping on the drop down box for the first time after page load results in a pop up selection window rather than a drop down list:
  • ![A pop up selection list as a modal dialog over the filters tab](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/7awectd1ya4baujuzao21zu4lp63)
  • There are 2 confusing aspects to this pop up:
  • 1. The first item is completely blank, rather than saying something like "None".
  • 1. There is a second blank item, as if there are 2 versions of "None".
  • In trying to reproduce this, I found that waiting longer before tapping the drop down box results in a drop down rather than a pop up. Perhaps the pop up only happens when the page has not fully finished loading.
  • After this first use of the drop down box, future taps on it open a drop down list rather than the pop up:
  • ![The user page shifted sideways after the drop down box is dropped down](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/513h3d6h4jc9cdnzoq5k9f26h4jk)
  • This drop down box does show "None" rather than just blank, and does not have the duplicate "None". However, it also significantly increases the width of the page, and automatically scrolls it to the right, so part of the page is cut off to the left.
  • After a selection is made and the drop down list closes, the page returns to being the same width as the mobile screen.

Odd behaviour of the user page filter tab
On the filters tab of the user page, there is a drop down box called "Predefined Filters":

![The filters section of the user page, showing a drop down box set to "None"](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/dlpy0afqr0baf3lz02ld36d3a49f)

On mobile, tapping on the drop down box for the first time after page load results in a pop up selection window rather than a drop down list:

![A pop up selection list as a modal dialog over the filters tab](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/7awectd1ya4baujuzao21zu4lp63)

There are 2 confusing aspects to this pop up:
1. The first item is completely blank, rather than saying something like "None".
1. There is a second blank item, as if there are 2 versions of "None".

After this first use of the drop down box, future taps on it open a drop down list rather than the pop up:

![The user page shifted sideways after the drop down box is dropped down](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/513h3d6h4jc9cdnzoq5k9f26h4jk)

This drop down box does show "None" rather than just blank, and does not have the duplicate "None". However, it also significantly increases the width of the page, and automatically scrolls it to the right, so part of the page is cut off to the left.
