Hi there!

The author control in the post sidebar has indeed changed in WordPress 5.6. It used to be a dropdown as you noted, but it’s now a type-to-select field instead. At the moment, there is no way to revert back to the dropdown in WordPress 5.6.

There have been other reports about this change as well. I’ve added your feedback to the GitHub issue here, so that the team working on the editor will take note:
