Description

Right now, when you open a dropdown, it makes the page shift in a strange way. Make the dropdowns actually float! (bonus points if it's a11y-optimized by using actual dropdown component)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the dropdown component's current CSS positioning and apply CSS to make it float above content without shifting the page. Additionally, consider using a native <select> or a proper dropdown component for accessibility.
