Topic: Multiselect cuts first letter

m.hamacher priority asked 5 years ago


Hello there,
I currently have the problem that the Multiselect cuts (or don't show) the first letter of selected option. This is only a problem of the Multiselect not of the normal select. And it only happens with not disabled options.
Example:
Disabled: https://pasteboard.co/HYR0Z9n.png
Options: https://pasteboard.co/HYR1k0P.png
Option selected (problem): https://pasteboard.co/HYR1Dyl.png

The code for this select looks like this:

<select name="test[]" id="test" class="mdb-select md-form" multiple>
    <option value="" disabled>Default</option>
    <option value="first">First Option</option>
    <option value="second">Second Option</option>
    <option value="third">Thrid Option</option>
    <option value="fourth">Fourth Option</option>
</select>
<label for="test">Test Select</label>

Have I missed something, or is this an error in styling?

Kind regards.

P.S.: I'm using MDB Pro 4.7.0 but I cannot choose this version.

It seems like a bug. Adding to the to-do list. As a quick workaround, you can try adding whitespace at the beginning of each option, like this:

<select name="test[]" id="test" class="mdb-select md-form" multiple>
    <option value="" disabled>Default</option>
    <option value="first"> First Option</option>
    <option value="second"> Second Option</option>
    <option value="third"> Thrid Option</option>
    <option value="fourth"> Fourth Option</option>
</select>
<label for="test">Test Select</label>

Hi Sebastian,

Will this get fixed in the next update? We dynamically generate all our multi-selects in asp.net core, so while we could rewrite all our code it would be much better if this could be fixed from your side.

I don't like to say that but it probably won't be fixed in the nearest release. But you can expect it to be fixed in one of the next releases.

I see. Can you give a timeframe on this, specifically, will it be before the end of March?


Sebastian Kaczmarek staff commented 5 years ago

I think it's very likely to be fixed before the end of March
