We had a couple bugs when using the review menu on mobile.

The first has to do with the event overlay that we add to the page when the
review menu opens. The overlay wasn't going away when closing the menu by
tapping somewhere else on the unified banner (i.e. tapping the mode selector,
publish buttons or empty space). And, if you opened the review menu again, a
new overlay would be added, and the overlays would keep stacking if you
repeated this.

This is fixed by listening to the closing event on the menu and removing
the overlay that way. Previously, we subclassed the closeMenu()
method that exists on the parent Actions.MenuActionView and put the
overlay removal logic in there. However that method doesn't actually
always get called when the menu closes. The grandparent Ink MenuView
sometimes closes the menu directly through its close() method. We may
want to remove or rework these Actions.MenuActionView.openMenu() and
closeMenu() methods in the future, since it could lead to unexpected
state leftover like it did here.

Secondly, the contents of the menu would get cut off when viewing on
mobile. This change makes things look much better by forcing the menu
contents to take up the entire width of the screen and wrap any text
in it.

  • Tested opening, closing, and selecting items in the review menu in
    mobile and desktop.
  • Tested exiting the review menu by it and a lot of other places.
  • Tested scrolling with the menu open.
  • Ran JS unit tests.

    Does this permanently alter the wdith and other information? If you trigger this in a mobile width, then close the menu, resize to a desktop view, and then open the menu, what happens?

    1. Yes it does. The new changes here and in /r/14171/ address this.

    We should aim to use default styles but not assume them, in case those need to change down the road. There's a way with .css(). I think setting them to an empty string will remove the override, unless it's null.

    1. Oh I was thinking we were overriding Ink CSS. Nevermind.

    2. Actually this is what I wanted to do, I wanted to revert back to whatever value was there before we overrode it. I didn't know you could remove the inline styling by setting the values to an empty string.

      I'm going to go with what you suggested just to be safer and make sure we're actually going back to whatever was set in any css file instead of overriding it again with our own "default".
