Direct children CSS issue

[SJTreadway]

Ran into an issue where classes were not being applied to elements because of the direct child relationship (see image below). For some odd reason, a div element was being placed in between the elements with these classes, causing the dropdowns to pop "up" and only show a few values. The user was also unable to scroll through the values. I had to remove the ">" sign in order to fix the issue. Has this been an issue for anyone else?
