unfortunately my site isn’t live yet.
I discovered the behaviour both on the contact form select and buddypress select fields but only when using the hueman theme.
If I delete all the form css from the style.css (master hueman theme), then the standard selct display appears. It seems the form fields including the select fields are styled with certain css but no down-arrow got included for the select fields. I wonder if there is a way to add a down-arrow for the dropdown select field, Unfortunately I can’t upload a screenshot here.
This is the standard css which is used to style the form fields
