Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Visit a crate page, like https://docs.rs/ureq/1.5.1/ureq/.
- Hover over the second item in the top bar, that has the crate name and version ("ureq-1.5.1").
- A menu pops up on hover.
- Click the second item in the top bar ("ureq-1.5.1").
Expected result:
Menu goes away.
Actual result:
Page navigates to a different page, https://docs.rs/crate/ureq/1.5.1.
Note that this problem is worse on touchscreen-based devices, since the user has to tap to open the menu in the first place, so they would reasonably expect that tapping in the same place would make the menu go away again.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the interaction on the crate page at https://docs.rs/ureq/1.5.1/ureq/, using both pointer hover/click and touchscreen-style taps on the “ureq-1.5.1” top-bar item. Trace the page and menu entry points involved; done means activating that item dismisses the menu rather than unexpectedly navigating to the crate page.
