fix(docked nav): persistent inline nav by jcmill · Pull Request #12653 · patternfly/patternfly-react

jcmill · 2026-09-15T13:32:37Z

Updated Docked Nav link behavior so desktop inline navigation remains expanded after selection, while overlay navigation closes when a link is clicked.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Docked navigation now remains open when selecting an item while its text is expanded, preserving the expanded dock state.
- On mobile, selecting a navigation item while the dock is expanded now resets the expanded state and closes the navigation overlay. In other dock states, navigation continues to collapse as before.

Walkthrough

The navigation selection handlers now preserve the dock when its text-expanded state is active. Otherwise, they continue through the existing reset logic.

Changes

Docked navigation behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preserve expanded dock state `packages/react-core/src/demos/examples/Nav/NavDockedNav.tsx`, `packages/react-core/src/demos/Compass/examples/CompassDockDemo.tsx`	Both `onNavSelect` handlers return early when `isDockTextExpanded` is true. Otherwise, they continue through the existing state resets.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 91ebe

After resizing from desktop to mobile, selecting a link can leave the overlay open. This is a bounded navigation issue; fix the mobile selection behavior before or as a follow-up to merging.

Limit the early return to desktop inline navigation.

If isDockTextExpanded remains true after a desktop-to-mobile resize, selecting a mobile link returns before clearing isDockExpanded. The mobile overlay remains open.

🐛 Suggested fix

- if (isDockTextExpanded) { + if (!isMobile && isDockTextExpanded) { return;

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
