New version of Grafana makes it not possible to remove option in long list of values
Open, Stalled, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  1. Open https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/ab43c410-afca-4777-8244-53cea7ce2a2c/mediamoderation-photodna-stats?orgId=1&refresh=5m&from=now-7d&to=now&timezone=utc&var-wiki=$__all
  2. Click on the "Wiki" selector at the top of the page
  3. Click on the "Selected" option
  4. Attempt to remove "commonswiki"

What happens?:
I can't seem to click on the "x" button next to commons wiki, as shown in the gif below. Instead it just closes the area that allows me to see the full list:

Note, I can't just edit the URL to remove commonswiki because when I refresh the page with all these values selected it causes Grafana to refuse the connection (presumably because the URL is too long).

What should have happened instead?:
It should be possible to filter for all values in the selector but a specific one, such as in the example above.

Dreamy_Jazz updated the task description. (Show Details)
Dreamy_Jazz edited projects, added SRE Observability; removed Observability-Metrics.

Adding SRE Observability. If this isn't the right tag, please feel free to fix. Thanks.

Above the list of all the wikis and their respective 'x', you'll see a list with checkboxes to select or deselect each entry. Did you try using that?

That list goes mostly off the screen when I have them all selected:

However, I can still seem to scroll through the list and have been able to de-select commonswiki as I wanted to do. Initially I couldn't seem to scroll through the dropdown list, but it was possible on a second try.

I found an upstream report of this issue.
As of now, I think we'll have to wait for the Grafana team to attend the bug upstream, I've subscribed to the issue and will update this as soon as we receive a response from the Grafana team.

Hi @Dreamy_Jazz , I recently upgraded our Grafana instances to v12.0.1 and I think that this issue is fixed now.
Could you please take a look at it and let me know if the issue is still present for you?

Thank you and apologies, I'll be on the look for updates from the Grafana team.
