Topic: MaterialSelect label not showing if container has a background color
Expected behavior
Select box's label should be visible regardless of its container's background color and depth.
Actual behavior
The select box's default value has a negative z-index, which I'm guessing is done to allow click-throughs. This is a problem whenever the control is placed in a container with a background color, and makes it usefulness very limited.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
Our fix is to override the label's CSS properties as follows:
.select-wrapper + label { z-index: auto !important; pointer-events: none !important; }

Hi, same issue here The version 4.7.7 is not available in the Snippet creation form so the bug cannot be reproduced there The behavior can be reproduced with just these lines :
<div class="card mb-5">
<h4 class="card-title">MdSelect 4.7.7</h4>
<select class="mdb-select md-form" searchable="Search here..">
<option value="" disabled >Choose your country</option>
<option value="1">USA</option>
<option value="2">Germany</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">France</option>
<option value="4">Poland</option>
<option value="5">Japan</option>
</select>
<label class="mdb-main-label">Label example</label>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.mdb-select').materialSelect();
});
</script>
