Developers just love to take what the Web gives them for free, throw it away, and replace it with something worse.
Today's example, from Open Collective, is a dropdown box: standard functionality provided by the <select> element. Except
they've replaced it with a JS component that, at some screen resolutions, "goes off the top" of the page... while simultaneously disabling the scrollbars so that you can't reach it.

Animation showing a dropdown menu for editing a personal profile on Open Collective. The dropdown menu is implemented using JavaScript, and has a bug that means that at some screen resolutions it goes off-screen and parts of it cannot be seen; because its appearance also disables the scrollbar, there's no way to get to the "missing" parts of the menu.
