What do you mean by:
and not the native one from the browser.

Chromium v140 : problem with the native select / options field
Hello,
I just upgraded the Chromium version on Ubuntu and what a surprise : all select / options fields open strangely : the options appear at the top left corner of the screen instead of appearing below the select field.
This problem is not on Laracasts, so I assume that Laracasts uses its custom select / options fields and not the native one from the browser.
Do other people also have the same problem ?
I specify that I don't have this problem with Firefox for example.
Thanks for your answer.

I mean when you can hide the native select field and replace it with a full custom one, but sure I just assume this.
The real problem is : why the options appear in the top left corner, even if the select field is in the center of the screen ?

Like this:
<label for="pet-select">Choose a pet:</label>
<select name="pets" id="pet-select">
<option value="">--Please choose an option--</option>
<option value="dog">Dog</option>
<option value="cat">Cat</option>
<option value="hamster">Hamster</option>
<option value="parrot">Parrot</option>
<option value="goldfish">Goldfish</option>
</select>
Example from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/select
Are you calling that native select?

I already tested this simple code you show me isolated in a pure html file, I have exactly the same problem.
And also same problem directly on this page.

It's probably a bug with the new version of Chromium.

@Vincent15000 I’ve just upgraded my version of Chrome to 140 and the <select> seems fine to me:
Am I misunderstanding the problem?

@martinbean I think Chrome (official browser from Google) is more stable than Chromium (pretty much the same but open source) so you don't see the bug in your Chrome.

All works fine now ... I don't have done anything ... it was probably a bug on Chrome / Chromium and the update has be done automatically via the OS.
