If your menu is closing by itself on mobile and tablet in Webflow, there could be several possible causes for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and fix the problem:

Check for interactions: Make sure there are no interactions or animations set up that may be causing the menu to close automatically. Open the Interaction panel in Webflow and review any interactions applied to your menu or its parent elements. Disable or modify any interactions that may be causing the issue.
Inspect the menu element: Use the Webflow Designer to inspect the menu element and check its settings. Ensure that the menu is set up to stay open on mobile and tablet breakpoints. Look for any specific settings related to these breakpoints that might be causing the menu to close unexpectedly.
Review custom code: If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, such as JavaScript or CSS, it's possible that the code is conflicting with the menu functionality. Disable the custom code temporarily and test if the issue persists. If the menu works correctly without the custom code, you may need to analyze and modify the code to resolve the conflict.
Check browser compatibility: Test your website on multiple browsers and devices to see if the issue occurs consistently. It's possible that the problem is specific to certain browsers or devices. If this is the case, you may need to adjust your CSS or JavaScript to make it compatible with those browsers or devices.
Consider other factors: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's important to consider other factors that may be causing the menu to close automatically. For example, insufficient touch target sizes, accidental taps or swipes, or conflicting browser extensions or plugins can all contribute to the problem.

It's recommended to test your website thoroughly after implementing any changes to ensure that the menu behaves as expected on all devices and browsers. If the problem persists, you may want to reach out to the Webflow community or support for further assistance.
