Dropdowns that fetch their options from a remote source now show a loading indicator while resolving the label for a pre-selected value. The dropdown is also temporarily disabled during this time to prevent it from opening before the data is ready.

Additionally, re-opening such a dropdown now requires fewer requests to the backend — down from three to one.
