Looks different to me:

More importantly, it keeps opening automatically on every page load, which is annoying.

No longer opening unexpectedly, but when using it, the search bar moves around because the bottom is anchored to the element. By default it would be good to open it below the button if there is space to avoid this unwanted behavior.

I observed a small "shake" (movement) of the page when the language selector is opened. It's very minor so not treating it as a blocker.
