Canvas

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 7/03/24.

Description

When trying to navigate through the drop-down menu for a module or a module item using the up/down arrow key on a keyboard, the menu closes out automatically. This prevents users from navigating the menu options on the module index page.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a module with at least one item added.

  3. Hit return on the vertical kebob

  4. Try navigating through the menu items using the up/down arrow key.

  5. Notice that the menu auto-closes and makes it not possible to use keyboard navigation.
