What is the issue with the Webflow interactions that is causing the nav to not open unless the user does an additional click after selecting a link?
There can be several potential issues that could cause the navigation menu in Webflow to not open unless the user performs an additional click after selecting a link. Here are some possible reasons and solutions for this problem:
Z-index conflict: One common reason for this issue is a z-index conflict. If the open/close interaction of the navigation menu has a higher z-index value than the links within the menu, it can cause the links to be unclickable until the user clicks elsewhere on the page. To fix this, you can try adjusting the z-index values of the menu and its links to ensure that the links have a higher z-index than the menu.
Interaction trigger: Another possible reason could be an incorrect interaction trigger. If the interaction that opens the navigation menu is set to trigger on a different event, such as hover or scroll, it may not work properly when selecting a link. To fix this, make sure that the interaction trigger is set to the appropriate event, such as click or tap, to ensure that the menu opens consistently when selecting a link.
Interaction animation: The issue can also be related to the interaction animation itself. If the animation has a delay or duration that is causing the menu to close before a link can be clicked, it will require an additional click to open the menu again. Check the timing settings of the interaction and adjust them accordingly to make sure the menu remains open until the user selects a link.
Conditional visibility: Conditional visibility settings in Webflow can affect the behavior of the navigation menu. If the links within the menu have conditional visibility settings that hide or affect their visibility based on certain conditions, it can cause the menu to close prematurely. Ensure that the conditional visibility settings for the menu and its links are properly configured to avoid any conflicts.
Custom code interference: If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, it's possible that it is interfering with the navigation menu interactions. Check your custom code for any scripts or functions that may be conflicting with the menu's behavior. You may need to troubleshoot or modify the custom code to resolve the issue.
