Mega Menu dropdowns disappear too quickly
The hub site Mega Menu in sharepoint online has become all but unusable for us. Mechanisms for triggering the drop-down menus are inconsistent: sometimes you need to click it, sometimes just hover. On occasions where you're lucky enough to get the dropdown to appear, a simple mouse movement will often make the submenu collapse again.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It's a problem we've had for a couple years, but it just recently got so bad that we're now having to explore alternatives.
- For those still dealing with this, I was able to solve this through CSS: I simply moved the menu up 15px, which (with our compact layout menu and font selection, etc.) puts the mega menu just underneath the top-level items, so when you move your mouse downward you are already in the megamenu, keeping it on-screen. This of course requires having ability to update CSS -- we use the ShortPoint app which gives us easy access for that.
The CSS:
.ms-Callout-main { top: -15px!important; } - I had the exact same issue, and I think the problem is solved now. Bruno_Ziegler has pointed out the issue but I didn’t catch on without more explanation.
So, in settings > Change the look > Header : you need to change the “layout” from standard to another one.
“Compact” removed my issue!
Hope it helps! - Same issue
- I have the same problem. Yes, the menu is disastrous to use. I would put pressure on my webmaster until this bug is fixed! I can't understand why this isn't causing more excitement and hasn't been fixed long ago.
- As a workaround, the header can be set to Compact in the site configuration. Standard does not work!
Yes, we're having the same issue and from searching this forum, it seems to have been reported for years and it's still an issue. I'm thinking of switching back to a different menu style because, like you said, it's unusable at this point. The mega menu closes any sub-menus as soon as you move your mouse. The only thing you can do is very accurately move the mouse down in a straight line to keep the sub-menu open. This is not user-friendly at all.
