Refine admin dropdown menus - #3251
Conversation
The Preview dropdown and the style options menu shared the blue hover used by the field and shortcode pickers, so a pointer read the same as a selection. They now hover neutral, and the menu radius accounts for its own padding so it is no longer smaller than the radius of the items inside it. Icons move from an opacity fade to a colour change. Pickers and multiselect lists are left on the existing blue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Matches the rotation and timing already used by the form action collapse button, and replaces an inherited transition: all on the glyph with a transform-only transition. Also widens the action menus' side padding to 8px.

A menu row sits on a white floating panel rather than the grey canvas the --grey-50 rows were tuned against, so the same token reads fainter here. This doubles the background lightness delta and leaves the text and icon channels unchanged.
The 8px item radius was larger than the 5px vertical padding, so the corners cut into the label, and adjacent hover chips sat flush against each other. Rows are now 40px with 2px between them.
Halfway between the original 34px and the 40px first tried, keeping the 2px separation between hover chips.

The chip padding was optically uneven because the 24px line-height on 16px text adds half-leading that padding cannot see, and the panel around it was 8px at the sides against 4px top and bottom. Chips are now 4px 8px, which reads as an equal 8px gap on all four sides, and the panel is a uniform 4px, restoring the concentric fit with the 12px radius.
The shared rule in _code-list.scss carries :link to override jQuery UI, which tied this block's specificity and won on import order, so the style options menu kept the old item padding. Repeating those pseudo-classes settles it. Icons drop to 16px and the gap to the label widens to 10px. These icons ink to the full box, so at 18px they read 1.5x the text cap height.
These menus were held open by min-width values that no longer matched their contents: 230px !important on the Preview menu, a second 205px rule, and 200px on the style options menu. Removing them leaves the component's own 160px floor and drops ~60px and ~30px of empty space respectively. Sizing is width: max-content rather than auto. auto measures the space beside the menu, so near a container edge the panel shrank and overflow-x: hidden cropped the longest label. Icons get flex-shrink: 0. They were the first thing to collapse when a row ran out of room, which the old min-width was wide enough to hide.

Constrain content-based menus to the available viewport.
width: max-content can make a menu wider than its containing block. The inherited white-space: nowrap at Line 127 and overflow-x: hidden at Line 68 can leave long labels inaccessible. Add a viewport constraint and allow labels to wrap or truncate.

Enforce the specified 36px row height.
With the stated 24px line-height and 4px vertical padding, each row is approximately 32px. Set a 36px minimum height or adjust the vertical padding.

The panel drops to a 10px radius with 6px chips inside it. Strictly concentric would be 12px, but 10px reads better at this size and the 2px is not findable when the chips sit 6px in from the corner.

The Preview dropdown and the style options menu shared the blue hover used by the field and shortcode pickers, so hovering read the same as selecting. This makes those two action menus hover neutral and tidies their sizing.
Scope note: only the action menus change. Pickers, multiselect lists and the form switcher keep the existing blue hover.
In this update,
--grey-100with--grey-900text instead of--primary-25/--primary-500.4px 8px, which reads as an even 8px on all four sides — the 24px line-height on 16px text adds ~4.4px of half-leading that equal padding values cannot account for.flex-shrink: 0so they stop collapsing on a tight row.min-widthoverrides (230px!important, 205px, 200px) are removed, andwidth: max-contentreplacesautoso a menu near a container edge is not shrunk and then cropped byoverflow-x: hidden.One thing worth flagging for review: the shared rule in
_code-list.scsscarries:linkto override jQuery UI, which lifts it to the same specificity as this block. It is imported later, so it was silently winning and the style options menu never received the new padding. Those pseudo-classes are repeated here to break the tie.
