This is not a general problem, but rather something due to the circumstances
created by the site you use as home page.

The search box on Google's site has focus after loading the page. When you click
on the down arrow, the search box still has focus which makes the dropdown
collapse again. That shifts focus to the dropdown list which is why subsequent
clicks do work. If the focus goes back to the search box, you'll see the same issue.

It also happens when I just surf to Google's site. So I assume it's an issue on
sites that auto-focus an element.

I don't experience the same issue with about:blank as home page
