Interesting - thanks for letting me know about this. I suspect that because I'm using Bootstrap classes for the styling (to make it look like a Bootstrap dropdown), one of their listeners is seeing the event, then failing to find a dropdown instance and thus throwing an error.

My initial feeling is that a patch in Bootstrap 5's JS to not throw an error if a dropdown is not found, would be the correct way to handle this, but I'm not certain. I'll look into it more and post back when I have more information.

Regards,
Allan
