I upgraded a project to RH2020 and in the CHM, clicking the link to open drop-down text had mixed results. Some opened normally, some didn't open at all, and others opened the wrong text (the text for a different drop-down link). I recreated all of the drop-down text links in that topic and now none of them open at all.
I plan to fix my updated project with the workaround I discovered. Recording here for others and if anyone has other suggestions or insight.

I have seen CDATA in topics created from Word imports. Could that be a factor here?
Thanks for posting the fix.

I do not believe this topic, and others exhibiting the problem, were imported from Word. Pretty sure, though not 100% positive.

The only other thought is were they using the RoboHelp dropdowns or a script, such as the ones on my site. That could make a difference on upgrade.

I tried making a fresh project in RH11 and cannot duplicate the problem when I upgrade it to RH2020. I can assume I forgot how the topic was made or something else weird happened.
So the final answer is try workaround of removing the script tag containing CDATA to fix the problem.
