Recently, attempting to post in high energy/atomic forum, it was impossible to post because of a bug in choosing prefix: the box opened only top of arrow without any possibility to actually navigate to a prefix, and then the thread did not allow posting unless the prefix was chosen, which was impossible. Any experience with such a bug?

Laptop. Mozilla. Persisted over a couple of tries while on the thread. After I had posted this bug complaint and returned to the high energy and nuclear forum, it turned out to have resolved in that the box did open the choices.

Mozilla as in FireFox?
 
Yes - Firefox.

Likely some JS files were hung loading.
