Bad UI in Menus: Clicking the + tab's link, when there are no menus, doesn't seem to do anything

Description

It directs me to:

http://localhost/~denis/wp/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=edit&menu=0

Entering a menu name doesn't seem to make any difference. Is this link needed or even useful when no menus are present?

  • Severity changed from normal to minor

This is equivalent to clicking on any selected tab's link, though I understand why it may seem slightly more superfluous when there's only one tab to click on (i.e. no menus are present).

The + link itself isn't causing any major problems—the only data lost is the menu name, and you're directed back to the same page. The + tab should not create the menu, as that would be unexpected behavior (and outside of the mental model for a tabbed interface).

That said, we may want to remove links from inside selected tabs (to prevent data loss) or only when the + tab is selected. Marking as ux-feedback.

If you are in a menu tab, I would expect the tab state to be active rather than clickable.

I said that poorly. I mean that I'd expect it to be in "on state" rather than "clickable take me there" state.

It's currently in both states; we should remove the clickable one. I'll write a patch in a day or so if nobody beats me to it.

If you have no menus or are otherwise on the [+] tab, you shouldn't be able to click that one either I don't think.
