Can't Change Tracking Notifications from Menu on Smaller Devices

Hullo all ^^
It looks like this was an issue solved in 2020 as per this topic: Can't change tracking status from post timeline menu on mobile

Problem: If your screen size is less than 925px it triggers the style change of the timeline to a box hovering in the bottom right. Clicking this box opens a menu with the ‘jump to…’ and notification level icon. Clicking the notification level icon will briefly display the GUI for changing your notification level for the topic but appears to get interrupted and the menu closes immediately – thus closing the tracking level GUI.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Be on a topic with a window size less than 925.
  2. Click on the scroll progress box in the bottom right
  3. Click on the notification icon

Other notes:
Most threads also provide the tracking controls at the bottom of the topic so this isn’t a big deal in most cases. However, it does not exist in the ‘Advanced Tutorial’ with Discobot. I’m not familiar enough with Discourse to know if that’s a one-off or if it affects any DM-style thread.

Just wanted to pass along the functional issue. Cheers all!

Yeah agree, this is a regression it is DMenu related from what I can tell.

I think we were tracking this internally somewhere, but can not find the topic.

We will get this sorted in the next 4 weeks.

EDIT: Oh the related one was:

The issue is that clicking:

Will close the dmenu so you can not select anything now.

Thanks that should do it:
