IP15.5 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Just gave 4.1.2 a quick test run, some great new and long-awaited features for sure that are really exciting, but at a bit of an impasse on the new menu system. While the interface for creating the menu is great, from what I'm seeing, if you have even just one menu item that has a drop down menu or a child, all menu items, whether they have a drop down or not, now require a double click to work. The first click oddly highlights the tab, but it takes a second click to actually change the page or app. If all drop downs / children are removed, then the menu works like one would expect. (Single click navigation) As a secondary note, a drop down partially hides the same item in the secondary menu behind it. It doesn't seem very intuitive - unfortunately it looks like we'll either have to hold off or determine a way to arrange our content that uses no drop downs at all. (Another issue - complicated presentation with way too many tabs) Anyone else feel this way in regards to the 2-click navigation factor? I would really hope there's a way to navigate with just a click in the future or that I'm missing, especially if that menu item doesn't have a drop down or child.
kotaco Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I agree, the menu options should change on hover and only require one click to select what you want.
Jim M Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 This is due to being on a touch screen enabled computer. Unfortunately, at this time we do not have a solution for it.
action-reaction Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 This new menu lets me the impression of a 13 wheels car. It's impressive, but what for ? If I want a custom link to the rules, or the number of visitors, I simply add it myself, I do not need something "flashy lightpeps yo". The last custom menu (3.4) was just fine. I don't see anything useful in this new one. Now if I want a drop down menu, I create it with 10 links for instance and next If I want to insert one in alphabetic order, I have to delete anything because i can't reorder them (or it's a bug on my browser). Well... You know, a simple four wheels vehicule that works fine is better than a UFO out of gas. Regards
IP15.5 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Found a workaround for now - by disabling all use of the second level navigation bar, you are able to navigate the menu using one click.
startrash Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I have just been testing the menu manager, and found like others that when a second level menu is created, that all top level menus then need a double click and the only way around it is to not use second level menus. This makes the menu manager not very useful at all. On top of that I've found that publishing a menu is buggy, and doesnt always seem to work reliably.

Murmel Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Any solution now? I don't like this 2 time clicking menu at all. The rest of the internet is not using/needing it.
opentype Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 First: the 2-click behavior is not the default. I never ever see it on any of my devices. The default desktop menu reveals the sub-menu on hover and any item in any menu can be reached with one click. The 2 clicks are only used on large touch-enabled devices, since you can’t create a proper hover action with your finger. Second: What do you guys propose how it should work?
