Confirming. Took me a while to find where the screenshot is from.
Moving from component "AFT" to "AFTv5".

In short: <label for="widget-id">Label-for-Widget</label> markup is missing.

Still valid on https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Barack_Obama :

<div id="articleFeedbackv5-select-wrapper">
<select id="articleFeedbackv5-filter-select">

<option value="">More filters</option>
[...]

</select>
</div>

<div id="articleFeedbackv5-sort">
<span class="articleFeedbackv5-sort-label">Sort by:</span>
<div id="articleFeedbackv5-sort-wrapper">

<select id="articleFeedbackv5-sort-select">
 <option value="relevance-asc">Relevant</option>
 [...]
</select>

</div>

The extension homepage at [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedback]] says
"This extension has been archived. This extension has not been maintained in some time, and no longer supports recent releases of MediaWiki.
The following other choices are still available: [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedbackv5]]"

Furthermore, ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) was removed from all Wikimedia wikis in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98074/

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier).
Closing this report as WONTFIX to reflect reality.
Please feel free to reopen this report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) again.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
