How can I see drop-down titles on output and drop-down text on editing?

I can see all three drop-down titles on output, but cannot see the drop-down text on editing. I am trying to use list and/or a multi-level list. Jeff helped me to create the three drop-downs that I am able to see on output, however, when I try to edit, I am unable to see the text. The screen capture below is on the edit screen. The edit screen is supposed to display the drop-down text. I do not want to try to edit this in HTML. I have been trying to accomplish this for two days now. Need to get going. Please help.

As far as I can see in my testing, the only thing you are doing wrong is not double clicking the dropdown on reopening the topic.

The idea is that in the editor you see a reasonably close idea of what the user will see initially and, like the user, you can expand the dropdown if you need to.

Create a new project with one topic and replicate this issue. See the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.

Peter,

I sent the new zipped up project called DropDown.rhpj via We Transfer as you instructed and am having the same difficulty displaying the edited drop-down text after I save and close and then bring it back up.
