65250	Mouse cursor interaction inconsistency for the first submenu item when “Collapse Menu” is enabled in the WP-Admin	mazharulrobeen	joedolson	"**Summary**:
When the “Collapse Menu” option is enabled in WP-Admin, the first submenu item under certain admin menu sections does not display a clickable cursor on hover, while the remaining submenu items behave correctly.

**Description**:
While testing the latest WordPress development version(7.0-RC4), I noticed an inconsistency in submenu hover interactions when the admin sidebar is collapsed using the “Collapse Menu” option.

After collapsing the admin menu:

Hover over a menu item that contains submenus (for example: Tools)
The submenu panel appears as expected
However, the first submenu item does not display the expected clickable pointer cursor behavior on hover
The remaining submenu items correctly show the interactive hover/click cursor

The submenu item itself still appears functional/clickable, but the cursor behavior creates a minor UI inconsistency and may affect perceived usability.

This issue appears to affect only the first submenu item in the expanded flyout menu.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install the latest WordPress development version (7.0-RC4)
Log in to WP-Admin
Enable “Collapse Menu” from the admin sidebar
Hover over a menu item with submenus (e.g. Tools)
Move the mouse over the first submenu item
Observe that the cursor does not behave consistently compared to the other submenu items

**Expected Behavior**:
All submenu items should display consistent hover and clickable cursor behavior.

**Actual Behavior**:
The first submenu item does not show the expected interactive cursor behavior, while the remaining submenu items behave correctly.

**Environment**:
WordPress Version: Latest development version: (7.0-RC4)
Browser: Chrome: Version 148.0.7778.168
Operating System: macOS: 15.7.3
Active Theme: Twenty Twenty-FiveVersion: 1.4
Active Plugins: N/A

**Additional Notes**:
The issue appears to be UI/UX related rather than functional
The submenu item remains clickable despite the cursor inconsistency
The behavior appears specifically when the admin sidebar is collapsed
Other submenu items in the same flyout menu appear unaffected

Suggested Improvement:
Review the hover/cursor interaction behavior for the first submenu item in collapsed admin sidebar flyout menus to ensure consistent UI feedback and interaction behavior across all submenu items."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	7.1	Administration	5.9	normal	fixed	has-patch		ui, accessibility, css, administration
