When working with interactions on a Webflow menu button, there can be issues with the button not being clickable when the menu is open or the button not reverting back to its original state when clicking on navigation links. Here are some tips to help you fix these issues:

Check the z-index: Make sure that the menu button has a higher z-index value than the navigation menu itself. This will ensure that the button is clickable even when the menu is open. You can adjust the z-index value in the element settings panel.
Use the right trigger: In the interactions panel, make sure that you're using the right trigger for the menu button. For example, if you're using a click interaction to open the menu, make sure that the trigger is set to "click" and not "hover" or "scroll".
Check the interaction settings: Double-check the settings in the interactions panel to make sure that the button is set to revert back to its original state when clicking on navigation links. You can do this by adding a new interaction that triggers when clicking on a nav link, and set the button to revert to its original state in the actions panel.
Check the navigation link settings: Sometimes, the issue may not be with the button itself, but with the navigation links. Ensure that the navigation links are set up correctly and are triggering the right actions. You can do this by selecting the navigation link element and checking its settings in the element settings panel.
Avoid conflicting interactions: If you have multiple interactions applied to the menu button or navigation links, there may be conflicts between them. Review all the interactions applied to these elements and make sure that they are not interfering with each other. You can reorder the interactions in the interactions panel to control their priority.
Test on different devices and browsers: The issues with interactions may sometimes be device or browser-specific. To ensure a smooth user experience, test your menu button interactions on different devices and browsers to identify any inconsistencies or issues that may arise.

By following these tips, you should be able to fix issues with interactions on your Webflow menu button and ensure that it behaves as intended.
