Hi @kaneva and thanks for the report!

We should also consider closing the admin menu on focus state within the content area (when using the Tab key with desktop browser zoom of 200% or more).

  • Keywords has-patch added; needs-patch removed

Added a focusout event listener to #wp-admin-bar-menu-toggle and #adminmenumain.

Provided that $wpwrap.hasClass( 'wp-responsive-open' ), and neither of the above parents or their children contain the newly focused element, the sidebar will close.

N.B. While the sidebar is open, non-sidebar content doesn't respond to the first input attempt, negating any impact of accidental click or touch events.

Reviewed during today's bug scrub.

The patch still applies cleanly against trunk.
In my testing it fixes the underlined issue. Probably a good commit candidate.

Administration: Hide mobile menu on focusout.

Closes the admin menu on mobile devices when keyboard focus moves outside of the menu or menu toggle elements. Improves the usability of the menu on mobile by allowing closure anywhere outside the menu rather than only on the toggle.

As per today's bug scrub: the above issue still need to be reproduced.
It looks like it was produced using iOS with iPhone 11 or 12.

Alright, I tested the pull request on iOS (iPhone 11) and the menu closes when I click in the content, but I found another bug and I not sure if it is related to the changeset or not: when you try to open a menu which contains a submenu, the admin menu closes itself, and you have to reopen it to click on the sub item.

Maybe it's related to this change, maybe not, but worth fixing this behavior :)

#41 @joedolson
18 months ago

@audrasjb That is the issue reported against this change: see #54837, which was the reason this was reverted. So that's a confirmation that the issue still exists and still needs to be addressed. Somebody with an iPhone 11 will probably have to work on this, since I couldn't reproduce using emulation.

The patch relies on the wp-responsive-open class, but that is not always accurate. At least when resizing the window—or switching a phone's orientation between vertical and horizontal—the script does not update the wp-responsive-open class (or the aria-expanded attribute).

This may or may not relate to the reported iPhone issue.

I made a few tests today using an iPhone with iOS 15: I was able to reproduce both the original issue (when tapping outside of the admin menu, the menu doesn't close), and the issue that caused the revert (after the patch is applied, if you tap on one of the main menu items, the admin menu closes).

In case someone is able to fix the issue and needs testing, I should be able to provide it, possibily in time for 6.2 Beta 1 release.

Fixes iOS issue

#51 @joedolson

  • Keywords needs-testing has-patch added; needs-refresh removed

All right; using the information from @ryokuhi and managing to set up a test case on iOS, I've got a fix for the issue.

The problem was that on iOS, the submenu trigger was causing a loss of focus; by monitoring document.activeElement, I could see that the activeElement shifted to the body when submenus were toggled. This caused focusIsInToggle and focusIsInSidebar to return true.

Resolved this by triggering focus on the submenu trigger after toggling.

In addition, I added an escape on ! document.hasFocus() so that the menu wouldn't close if the user switches focus to another tab, window, or application.

#52 @sabernhardt

The jsvalidate:build stage complained about a comma in the console.log line, though you may have intended to remove the full line anyway.

I was nervous about using the wp-responsive-open class, but I did not notice any problems when resizing the window around the breakpoint in Firefox.

Remove console.log

#53 @joedolson

Thanks for noting that, @sabernhardt.

It didn't seem to me that the wp-responsive-open class dependency was significant; I couldn't find any reason for it to cause a problem.

I think we should commit this and move it forward. If there are additional issues, they should be spotted in beta.

I've tested in iOS and confirmed that prior to this change the menu closed when activating a menu item with children, and after the change the menu only closes when focus is moved to body.

Marking to commit based on prior approval, passing tests, and tests on iOS.

In 55326:

Administration: Close admin menu when focus moves to body.

User should not have to reach the admin menu toggle in order to close the menu. This can be a problem for one-handed mobile use, users with small hands, and numerous other situational usages.

Close the admin menu when focus moves anywhere other than the menu or the menu toggle and the current document is active.
