New Navigation Bug with Dropdown menu

· 4 months ago · 4 replies · 345

I know this update just rolled, but I noticed when editing my menu that when I create a dropdown, the top level tab does not open any link as intended.

Same with this forum here, if you click on "Members," it simply adds "#" to the board url without opening the members page. I created a similar dropdown to have 'Members' as the primary tab with 'Staff' underneath

It opens the link when you click it, but not in a new browser tab. That doesn't seem to work indeed. I'll dig in and probably have this fixed by tomorrow.

Thanks Cedric, yeah the Staff page opens fine, it's just the Members page that doesn't open since becoming the 'parent/main' tab for the dropdown

Ah yes, you're right. The bug is that it converts it to a dropdown and no longer a link in which it doesn't respect the original link. I didn't properly test that bit.

Thanks for reporting!

This issue has been fixed in the next update (coming today). Both the mobile and desktop version had this bug. The dropdown parent links (desktop) where a feature item like Members used as a dropdown parent now opens its page instead of #. And the dropdown parent links (mobile drawer): tapping the label now navigates; the caret toggles the submenu (it was a toggle-only button before).
