It should work. It works in my test system. Make sure the drop down selection options are different. For example, I was not able to select an option when I had "selection a", "selection b", "selection c". When I changed it to "selection a", "choose b", and "also c" the selection works fine. Also make sure the drop down has a height of 3 or more. I usually use a height of 5 or 6. The screen shots below is the setup for SO invoice header:
