Combo Box color/size inconsistency between PowerApps Studio/Webplayer and Android App

I am using a Combo Box with MultiSelect enabled, Searchable disabled for a Dyamics 9.0 entity with MultiSelect Option Set attributes.
The Items attribute of the Combo Box is set as the Choices possible in the Multiselect Option Set attributes.

The colors are chosen such that it's possible to see which color setting actually affects which part of the combo box.

In PowerApps Studio, the preview within the studio, and the webplayer the combo box looks like this:

However, the Android App displays these Combo Box controls, using the same data source and the same selected item, differently, and, in particular, the padding looks wrong and the dropdown text is invisible:

The normal Drop Down Control (Akademischer Titel / Keiner) doesn't seem to have these issues.

My questions:

  1. How do I make the Combo Box dropdown text in the Android App visible?
  2. How do I make the Combo Box colors and padding consistent between PowerApps Studio/Webplayer and the Android App?

    Strangely enough, I have now noticed, that re-building the form up to the combo box from scratch somehow resolves invisble text.
    So, apparently, I have the stupid and useless fallback option of restarting everything to make at least the items visible again.

    1. Any idea what might be causing the display differences and issues in my original app?
    2. Any idea why starting from scratch with no differences in the attributes of combo box changes anything?
    3. How do i fix the padding?
