The Issue

when trying to publish, the channel name dropdowns and license dropdowns are blacked out

Steps to reproduce

from a fresh start of the app, publish an item, then try to publish another item
when publishing a second or 3rd item the channel name dropdown will be a black rectangle after clicking to open it. same thing happens to the license dropdown. when the dropdown is blacked out, no choices can be selected (even if you guess where an item might be and click)
3.exiting and restarting the app will correct the problem, but usually for only one time (had it work twice occasionally)

Expected behaviour

Tell us what should happen
the channel dropdown should contain a list of user channels, black text with white background. clicking an item in the dropdown populates the choice made

Actual behaviour

Tell us what happens instead
dropdowns are blacked out, and clicking on the blacked out list returns nothing

There are some known bugs with electron: https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/544#issuecomment-329548859
This can be fixed using a custom dropdown component rather than the native select input.

I'm not inclined to drop native selects due to an issue in Electron. Let's see if this persists after Electron is updated.

@unclejed613 does this still happen in the latest version?

Sounds like its still happening to users - but this time on ArchLinux. Going to have the user post a screenshot here.

@seanyesmunt I think this will be taken care of in the redesign... as Jeremy alluded to, I doubt we will use native dropdowns anyway

@liamcardenas the opposite! I would always prefer to use native elements when possible.

However, this seems like it must be a bug in Electron, rather than something we could fix.

@MR4Y let us know if you are still seeing this on the latest app release. Closing for now.
