Whatever you need from the drop-down, click the down arrow to open the drop-down, enter the first letter of the selection you need. If for example there is more than one of that letter, press the letter again and it will move down the list.
Once the selection is in the box, with the drop-down still open, hit save, it will enter the value.
Not a solution, but at least it allows us to get on until it is fixed.
I was seeing this too today, I thought it was my virtual machine playing up! I too solved it with the keyboard but wasn't sure as to why, thanks for the heads up!
Had this same issue today in 7.2.8 - with Chrome only. Looks like Chrome has fixed the issue on their side so an update to Chrome fixed the error in the backoffice.
Cannot create data type
Hi, I cannot create a data type. I cannot choose which property editor I want. Anyone who knows what could be wrong?
/Rasmus.
Hi Rasmus,
What version of Umbraco are you using? What datatype are you trying to select ?
Thanks
I'm using v7.3, and trying to create a rich text editor.
Hi Rasmus,
But there we have already created datatype Rich Text Editor, why you need another ?

Did you give the datatype a name? And did you select a prop editor, since the error in you screenshot says that no prop editor was chosen
I cannot select which property editor i want. That is the problem

WHich one do you wish to use since the dropdown seems to list them... any chance you can record a small screencast showing the issue?
Yes. I will do that tomorrow.
I have recorded a video. See the link: https://vimeo.com/143362381
Summary for those who haven't watched the vimeo
Do you get any errors in the dev tools of your browser when this is happening?

Hmmm that's strange which browser are you using? Mind giving it a go in a different one, and like Nik asks, are you getting any js errors?
Hmm.. Used another browser and it didn't work, but now when I have reinstalled Chrome it works without problems.
Thanks for the help. :)
Also having this issue, it's chrome related for sure.
Version 48.0.2564.10 m (64-bit) doesn't work, also tried latest dev versions.
This is an issue with Chrome Version 47.0.2526.73 m and Umbraco 7.3.3 as well.
Tested on two different computers, one of them had never opened the site before.
It was working fine on Chrome 46, then I relaunched finish the update to 47 and I can't select anything in the drop down any more.
No errors are reported in the dev tools.
Hi Tor-Erik,
Yes with the new chrome version there is an issue with the drop downs in the backoffice. Try to see this issue http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-7496

This solved the issue for me. Umbraco 7.2.8
The issue ticket contains a simple fix by replacing your angular file:
\Umbraco\lib\angular\1.1.5Alternatively you can update to 7.3.4. As usual you will need to clear temp files, increment clientDependency version, and clear browser cache.
Hi All
You can get around it . .
Whatever you need from the drop-down, click the down arrow to open the drop-down, enter the first letter of the selection you need. If for example there is more than one of that letter, press the letter again and it will move down the list.
Once the selection is in the box, with the drop-down still open, hit save, it will enter the value.
Not a solution, but at least it allows us to get on until it is fixed.
