Fix · Pages, phones and Arabic

Mobile menu does not open or does not close

What you may see

The hamburger button does nothing, or the menu stays open after I tap a link

Most likely cause

The open/closed state is not toggled, is not reset when the page changes, or a layer hides the button.

Check first (about two minutes)

Tap the button on a real phone: does the button change (icon or label)?

Prompt language

You are a senior front-end engineer who knows HTML, CSS, React, phones and Arabic right-to-left pages, and explains things to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE PROBLEM
Mobile menu does not open or does not close

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
The open/closed state is not toggled, is not reset when the page changes, or a layer hides the button.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Check the button is a real button with aria-expanded and that its click changes state.
2. Close the menu when a link is tapped, when the route changes and when Escape is pressed.
3. Keep page scrolling correct (do not leave the page locked).
4. Test in English and Arabic: the menu opens from the correct side.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The menu opens, closes with every action above, and the page scrolls afterwards.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not remove the menu on desktop.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.
