Bug Report

Description

The title bar hamburger menu (☰) overlaps with the hover-triggered dropdown menu that appears when hovering over the second button in the sidebar, causing both menus to visually collide.

Actual Behavior

The title bar hamburger menu renders on top of the sidebar's hover-triggered menu, making both menus difficult to use and visually broken.

Additional Context

The hover menu is triggered by the second button in the sidebar (not a click). The overlap suggests a z-index or event handling conflict between the two menu components.

TL;DR

Adjust the z-index or positioning of the title bar hamburger menu and the sidebar hover menu to prevent overlap.

Guidance

  • Verify the CSS styles applied to both menus to identify any z-index conflicts or positioning issues.
  • Check the event handling for the hover menu to ensure it doesn't interfere with the hamburger menu's functionality.
  • Consider adding a CSS class to specifically target and adjust the positioning of the hamburger menu when the hover menu is active.
  • Test different screen sizes and resolutions to ensure the fix works across various environments.

Example

/* Example CSS to adjust z-index */
.hamburger-menu {
  z-index: 1000;
}

.sidebar-hover-menu {
  z-index: 900;
}

Notes

The provided screenshot and steps to reproduce suggest a visual rendering issue, but without access to the actual codebase, the exact fix may vary. The solution may require adjustments to the CSS styles, JavaScript event handling, or both.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the CSS styles to manage the z-index and positioning of the menus, as this is the most direct approach to resolving the visual overlap issue.
