The specific use case: I want to copy the job name from the main page, so that in an email it will show the text and also be a hyperlink to the job. However, when the drop-down pops up, it stops the highlighting and starts it from where the cursor currently is, so if I've dragged through and highlighted half the name, when the drop-down appears, that half will be un-highlighted, and as I continue dragging it'll highlight the other half of the name. This thus requires rapid dragging which is making this far less usable than it used to be, before the drop-downs were imposed.
