Description

Hi,

So I first noticed this bug on Microsoft docs page, by not being able to select the dropdowns in the side bar.

As you can se from the screenshots:

To navigate the link tree, you need to manually click on the dropdowns which beats the whole purpose of this extension.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to URL ''https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference"
  2. Click 'f' to open the link selection menu.

Browser and Vimium version
Chrome version: 131.0.6778.265 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable)
Vimium version: 2.1.2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference in Chrome 131 with Vimium 2.1.2. Open the link selection menu with “f” and compare the Microsoft Docs sidebar dropdowns with links that can be selected normally. Done means the dropdown links can be opened through Vimium without manually clicking them.
