Comment (by darshitrajyaguru97):
== Testing Summary ==
I was able to reproduce the issue on the Photo Directory page at smaller
viewport widths.
=== **Environment ===
* Device: Chrome DevTools (iPhone 12 Pro simulation)
* Viewport: ≤599px
* Browser: Chrome (latest)
=== **Steps to Reproduce ===
# Visit https://wordpress.org/photos/
# Open DevTools and set viewport width to 599px or below
# Observe the secondary menu toggle icon in the "Photos" header
=== **Actual Result ===
* The menu toggle icon appears misaligned and visually compressed
* The SVG icon does not maintain proper alignment within its container
=== **Expected Result ===
* The menu toggle icon should be centered and maintain consistent
dimensions
* It should visually align with the primary navigation toggle
=== **Root Cause ===
* The button {{{(.wp-block-navigation__responsive-container-open)}}} lacks
enforced dimensions and alignment on smaller screens
* The SVG icon uses fixed dimensions (24x24), which do not adapt well when
the parent container shrinks
=== **Suggested Approach ===
* Ensure the toggle button has a consistent clickable area and proper
alignment (e.g., using flexbox)
* Allow the SVG to scale more predictably by controlling its size via CSS
instead of relying solely on fixed width/height attributes
**Example:
{{{
@media (max-width: 599px) {
.wporg-is-mobile-nav .wp-block-navigation__responsive-container-
open {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
padding: 0;
}
.wporg-is-mobile-nav .wp-block-navigation__responsive-container-
open svg {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
}
}}}
=== **Notes ===
* The issue is primarily layout-related rather than an SVG asset issue
* Updating the SVG itself is likely unnecessary unless visual
inconsistencies are observed across breakpoints
* Fixing container behavior should resolve the problem consistently
Happy to test a patch or refine further if needed.
