What is the problem?

With the Minerva skin, on Special:Preferences and Special:GlobalPreferences, if you open select menus you cannot select any option.

I have yet to see this for select menus on other pages.

  3. Open one of the select/dropdown menus and select an option

This only affects desktop Minerva. In mobile mode the dropdowns use native <select> elements, which are not affected by the bug.

The fix in MediaWiki will have to wait for the next OOUI release.
