New description:

 On a site running Twenty Eleven, tapping the top level menu item opens
 that page, rather than opening that item's child menu items and waiting
 for something to be selected.

 This results in the child menu opening briefly, but being lost on the page
 load.

 Issue isn't present on iOS or desktop devices, but I was able to reproduce
 in both Chrome and Firefox on an HTC M9 running android 6.0.

 The issue happens on both of the sites mentioned, the self hosted and the
 one on WordPress.com.

Comment:

 I can confirm the issue.

 We'd likely have to fix this with some JavaScript, similar to what's been
 done in the newer default themes. Worth noting there isn't really a change
 in the menu on smaller screen sizes – it stays the same, so it should be
 straightforward. That said, given the age of the theme, this is a low
 priority.
