1385709 - [UX] Menubar - back button from submenu is too small

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Menus, defect, P5)

Description

[p3732]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170730100307

Steps to reproduce:

Open the menubar
go to any submenu, e.g. "library"
try to go back to the main menu from there


Actual results:

Instead of being able click the whole upper part, only a very small area around the back arrow was clickable.


Expected results:

In my opinion this counter-intuitive and harder to use than being able to click anywhere on the top of the section, especially since it's visually distinct by a box. Also all other options in the menu are clickable on their full width.

Bryan, what are your thoughts here?

It wouldn't be intuitive, or make sense, to make the title of a sub-panel navigate backwards. The back arrow represents a clear affordance for navigation and the click-target is the same as toolbar icons, which are appropriate sizes for menu buttons. The back arrow even includes a hover state to make it clear where to click and that it represents an action. 

I'm inclined to mark this as a wontfix.
