 A WordPress.com user who's been using Twenty Fifteen noticed that it
 becomes a bit cumbersome to keep re-opening a sub-menu.

 To replicate:

 1. Create a primary menu with sub-menu items, either through the default
 or custom menu
 2. Visit the site on the front end and click the top-level menu item
 3. Click a sub-menu item
 4. Note how you need to click the top-level menu item again if you want to
 visit another sub-menu page in the same section

 It would save some user clicks to keep the sub-menu open after it's been
 first clicked.

 As the user puts it:

   The problem is that once the user selects one of these nested items and
 navigates to the page, the nested menu closes again, meaning that the user
 has to re-click on the parent item over and over again to keep opening up
 the nested menu to view what other pages are under it. As you can imagine,
 this becomes very annoying for the user very quickly. Is there any way to
 customize the menu so that the nested list will stay open as long as the
 user is on a page that is nested under the same parent item?
