 If the screen is enlarged by Ctrl+ the Dashboard layout jumps into mobile
 version.
 For people who enlarge the screen and only use a keyboard, the menu of
 this mobile version is not easy accessible.
 A screen reader user can't see the size of the screen, so when it's in
 mobile version, that's a problem for them too.

 The menu button has no label and if selected, the focus stays on the menu
 button. So the menu can only be reached entering shift-tab. The user than
 can navigate though the menu from the bottom to the top backwards.

 My recommendations
 Add a label to the menu
 Set the focus on the first menu-item after selecting the menu
 For screen reader users: change the style hidden into the class screen-
 reader-text
 And maybe add an option: disable mobile version with the user settings?
