When I have an option selected with an “input Select” element and turn on “Read Only”, the text initially looks correct, but then when I select another element on the screen the text in the input select shift to the top left of the box. How do I prevent this from happening ![Screenshot 2023-05-30 at 6.55.14 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/b/b1c51720b6e68c0719ff6a0ef55042d8609a37be.png) ![Screenshot 2023-05-30 at 6.55.47 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/4/4bb561a266d0891a39bc546745a5d6eb02054583.png) Similarly, when you turn the setting on for “disabled”, it turns grey. How do you adjust that grey styling? ---

I’m having exactly the same issue @BuildLikePeter. Did you solve this please? Mine is conditionally set to Read Only with an Init Value populated. ![Screenshot 2023-07-26 at 12.19.22 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/9/95d0faff64f83dbfc9bd175b1171346783154fff.png) ---

Unfortunately not. I think I decided to use disabled instead of read only and just made due with the grey coloring. ---

OK thanks @BuildLikePeter. @Joyce, @Quentin or @aurelie any guidance please? Perhaps this is a bug? ---

Thanks @Joyce. Welcome back! Hope you had a nice vacation. 😊 I actually submitted a bug for this already a couple of weeks back. ---

Hi Joyce, any updates on this bug? I still can’t figure out where to change the background color when select is disabled and on Read Only the text still shifts. ---

We released a new select recently so don’t think this bug is still there. That said, if you do notice an issue with the select, please don’t hesitate to create a bug ticket [here](https://support.weweb.io/).
