Hi, can you please specify what do you mean with:

• "left menu" (if the left left menu or the left right menu :-) ):

• and "menu collapsed"

horizontally?

or vertically?

I am asking, because working in Joomla! 4 is very cumbersome, because the left menu is missing active items (when you are in the active component, its menu items are collapsed). So for now I am not sure, if this is the same problem I have or any other problem (e.g. problem with horizontal collapsing which I don't have)

What I mean is closed menu for active component:

vs. Joomla! 3

where everything works like expected and you are always able to switch between items in active component easily and quickly.

Thank you, Jan

This.

This.

Ok, so I can confirm this issue :-)

the left menu is missing active items (when you are in the active component, its menu items are collapsed)

I am not experiencing this issue. Which browser/OS?

Did you follow the instructions in my opening post?

Yes I can reproduce per your test instructions.

Sorry my reply was to @PhocaCz where submenu items collapse upon selection and not going to Options.

here is a quick example of a broken left menu

Both these are the same page
https://example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_associations&view=associations
https://example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_associations

One will show a selected left menu, the other will not.

Both are be replicated using the Options -> Save and Close and Options -> Close buttons as per my opening comment.

Here is another example (Sorry @nikosdion)

Install Akeeba Backup for Joomla 4

Go to Components -> Akeeba Backup

Click Manage Backups or Configuration or Profiles Management or View Log

Note that the left side menu collapses instead of staying at "Components -> Akeeba Backup"

Not my monkey, not my problem. Please don’t at mention me on issues unrelated to my code, especially ones I’ve reported a month prior.

Hi, see what I mean:

The menu items of active component are hidden (collapsed) when the component is active.

Windows 8/10, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Brave

@PhocaCz Are you testing with the nightly build? https://developer.joomla.org/nightly-builds.html

I cannot reproduce the issue. Do you get the grey background when System is active?

I cannot reproduce the issue. Do you get the grey background when System is active?

No.

Today updated, the same problem - testing the 4.0-dev branch per composer/npm (2020/06/24)

Installed the NB release (24 June 2020 02:00:20 UTC), the same, no grey background.

I cant reproduce that with the system menu either. What is the exact url you are on? What browser etc?

Hi,

URL:
administrator/index.php?option=com_cpanel&view=cpanel&dashboard=system

Windows 8, Windows 10, Suse Linux: Chrome, Firefox, Avast, Brave, Opera browsers

can't reproduce issue : Macintosh, Firefox, Safari, Chrome.

Please, when people are saying they can't reproduce issue please be specific.

To be clear: The issue reported, to open this GitHub issue, can be replicated in all browsers.

To be clear: The issue reported by @PhocaCz cannot be reproduced by any of us testing.

Right.
Can't reproduce @PhocaCz issue.

Hmmm, I am testing latest development branch, latest nightly build, can someone paste a screenshot how it looks when the menu is not collapsed.

E.g. on Contacts view:

administrator/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contacts

Sorry @PhilETaylor - I would like to test your reported issue step by step but seems I am not able to do as it looks like my Joomla! 4 is somehow completely different to standard :-)

Great, thank you @infograf768 ... now I need to find what is wrong with my Joomla! 4

1. First instance: Downloaded https://developer.joomla.org/nightly-builds.html - installed standardly
2. Second instance: download 4.0-dev branch - composer install --ignore-platform-reqs - npm ci

both the same result :-(

@PhocaCz Funnily enough I had the same problem as you today. The problem where nothing in the left menu highlighted on a Joomla 4 beta 1 site locally. I debugged it for ages. It was only affecting safari at the time, google chrome was fine.

The "fix" for me on this site on this occasion was to open the Dev Inspector tools in safari -> Sources Tab and then to select template.min.css - it took a few seconds to load the source, but after it did, I refreshed the page and then menu highlighting (your issue, not the reason this GitHub issue is open) was resolved.

Im going to assume there is some aggressive caching in the browser - despite me disabling caching and flushing the cache several times!

@PhilETaylor Testing now, still the same problem, I usually use Chrome DevTools with disabled cache:

I feel like Alice in Wonderland :-), I have tested 3 different ways how to install Joomla! 4 (download, git clone, nightly build), cleaned cache in browser, in DevTools, cleaned sessions in database, enabled debug mode (to get not minified versions of CSS and JS), etc. etc. Still the same problem. :-(

@PhocaCz Please confirm if this is the issue in your case in #30155.

@PhocaCz Please confirm if this is the issue in your case in #30155.

Hi, thank you very much for this info, yes, I can confirm it, the uppercase is the problem, more info in #30155

Thank you, Jan

Please test PR #32330. Thanks.
