Cannot select target in SQL Server Schema Compare, Visual Studio 2017

Question

I'm having an odd problem which I haven't been able to find a solution for. Suddenly I am not able to select a Target or Source in Schema Compare in VS2017. When I click the Combobox nothing happens. It is still possible to do a Data Compare and SQL Queries.

I've updated SSDT to version 15.5.1 but with no success. VS is version 15.5.2

It seems to be the same problem as decribed here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44419310/sql-server-compare-schema-in-visual-studio-2017/48092813?noredirect=1#comment83159979_48092813 — jhe, Jan 04 '18 at 10:14

I was able to make this work using the arrow keys. A workaround, but definitely malfunctioning drop downs. See also here

The workaround worked until magically it started working again :\ – Lee Oct 23 '18 at 18:13

I had the same issue. I restarted my visual studio and it worked. – anu Oct 08 '19 at 17:38
VS 2019 Enterprise - v.16.4.2. I restarted VS, my laptop multiple time to no avail... workaround, keys, worked... HORRIBLE... (also i updated VS) – Robert Green MBA Dec 28 '19 at 18:32
