What
A bug was reported where clicking on the SelectList chevron on some of freenow's projects on mobile was not opening the dropdown.
Tapping the chevron calls react-select's focusInput() to open the menu. Because the chevron icon isn't itself a native focusable target, mobile browsers clear focus once the tap gesture resolves, closing the menu right after it opens.
How
As the SelectList box also triggers opening the menu correctly on mobile, the fix disables pointer-events on the chevron so taps fall through to the box instead (scoped to @media (hover: none) and (pointer: coarse)) so mouse clicks (and any e2e test not emulating touch) still hit the icon directly and are unaffected.
