Admin: can the Navigate & MyStuff buttons have context menus added?

So they can be opened in a new window?

Mobile version.

Also, what do you need to know from us in terms of our device? Version of android, version of browser, which browser, device, etc? I can't even imagine how complicated it is tbh.

This should work:

1) Hit Navigate so the menu pops open

2) Fine the button for the place you want to go

3) Don't tap it -- instead hold your finger down on it, and a menu should pop up. At that point you can open the place you want to go in a new tab.

4) Then just click Navigate again to close the menu and you're done.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

As for the other question, I like to get device / operating system / browser, so some examples of that would be:

Desktop PC / Windows 10 / Firefox
Apple iPad / iOS / Mobile Safari
Samsung Galaxy S22 / Android / Chrome

Pixel phone, android 12, Brave browser

(Probably Brave. It breaks everything)

ETA: yeah, it works for the submenu items, just not the Nav & MS buttons

Edited to add: sorry, I used "right-click" in this post but then remembered you're talking about a phone -- the point is the same, I just should have said context menu instead of right-click.

The right-click menu for opening in a new tab/window will not work on the Navigate and My Stuff buttons -- it can't work, because those buttons do not link to another web page, they link to Javascript code which opens and closes the menu. If you could right-click one of those buttons and open it in a new tab, there would be no content on the new tab.

The buttons *inside* each menu all link to web pages -- they can all be right-clicked, so that you can open those destinations in separate tabs/windows.
