Menu manager, dropdown menu without clicking — dropdown displaced to the left after update

Hello,

I just updated my community and I read in the release that there was an option in the Menu manager that will let us set the dropdown menu without clicking. Right now we must click to unfold the sub-menus.

I can't find how to do that, it's not within the Menu Manager in ACP. Where is that option?
Thanks

I found it, it's in the Theme Editor. Thanks

After the update to 5.0.15, there's something wrong with the main menu. The dropdown menus are displaced.

For example, ACTIVITY. The white rectangle with the options should be at the dotted line, now it's displaced to the right. All the dropdowns are no longer centered and displayed to the left :(

This happens after the update, with or without one-click dropdown option enabled.

It happens everywhere, under my profile, menus, everywhere. I cleared system caches, and it's the same.

Dropdowns were improved in 5.0.15 as noted in the release notes: https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes-v5/5015-r49/

You're welcome to provide your feedback on these changes in the Feedback forum.

Yes, I understand the distinction between feature requests and feedback. However, this does not address the problem I’m reporting.

This is not a feature suggestion. It is a UI regression introduced in the latest update. As shown in the screenshot, the dropdown menus are no longer aligned with their parent menu items. They are displaced significantly to the left, which was not the case earlier today before the update.

Dropdown menus are expected to align with their corresponding navigation entries — this is standard behavior and was previously working correctly. Suggesting this as “feedback” implies a design preference, when in reality this is a functional layout issue caused by the recent release.

Please treat this as a bug introduced in the latest update and advise whether it is a known issue or if additional information is needed to investigate.

Thank you.

I've brought this up as a bug, but please bear in mind it may come back as having been an intentional change. Its currently aligned centrally, and the menus were indeed changed. Whether they are better this way or not, is of course subjective.

Hello,

This is an intentional design change in 5.0.15.

Navigation dropdown menus are now centered below their toggle button, matching all other dropdown menus (which have been centered for a while)

If you'd like to change this, adding this to your Custom CSS area will left-align it in browsers which support anchor-positioning (except for Safari which uses its own alignment code):

@supports ((position-area: bottom) and (not (-webkit-hyphens:auto))){
	.ipsNavBar > li > .ipsNav__dropdown{
		position-area: bottom span-right;
		margin-inline: 0;
	}
}

Other browsers will continue to use the centered alignment.
