USR369 confirmed via screenshot that v5.45's orange text-color fix on the closed select box was not visually appearing on his actual Android device. Root cause: CSS color property on native <select> elements is commonly ignored by Android's rendering of the closed/collapsed state (separate issue from the already-known open-popup option-styling limitation noted in v5.45). Fixed by switching the unselected-state distinction to border-color (orange, 1.5px) plus a faint background tint (rgba(240,184,106,.08)) instead of relying on text color alone - box-model properties are reliably respected cross-browser where text color is not. Text color kept as a bonus. Deployed and verified live.
