Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same problem.

Description

When clicking the dots behind a project, in the sidebar, the dropdown disappears the moment I stop hovering the dots.
This is only the case (it seems) when the sidebar has a lot of projects, and - as you can see in the video - only happens when the dropdown tries to render below it.
Couldn't reproduce on demo instance, because I think it did not have enough projects, and was too lazy (sorry, love you guys).

Vikunja Version

v1.1.0-137-d637c52b88 <- currently cloned one with a feature that's not yet on mainstream, tho nothing changing to this, and had it before.

Browser and version

No response

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

Yes

Does that happen with the latest unstable build?

Happens on latest unstable build. (pulled at 2026-03-05 10:30, sha 68d83ba88f592e4f5a80d6d6ccb14f15060a3bd378b1a8cd26ebe7f99519ecd7)
For more context:

  • The bug appears when more than one project is present
  • Opening the menu on the upper project and slowly moving the cursor down to the options triggers the bug
  • This is most likely due to the :hover state of the project below being triggered closing the drop-down menu

Moving the mouse very fast does not end up with the issue as (at least chromium based browsers) do not trigger the :hover state on the secondary project element.
