Flashing issue with Bootstrap navbar when attempting to close it by clicking outside of the menu

Encountering a problem with the navbar where a "flash" occurs upon clicking outside the menu to close it. The flash persists if the mouse is held down when clicking out of the menu as illustrated below:

Suspecting the issue may be related to Angular rather than CSS, especially since others have been unable to reproduce it on fiddle. Previous question here.

HTML:

<nav class='navbar navbar-default.navbar-static-top navbar-custom'>
  <div class='container-fluid'>
    <ul class='nav navbar-nav navbar-left'>
      <li><a href="dashboard.html">Dashboard</a></li>
      <li><a href="/grades">Grades</a></li> 
      <li><a href="/classes">Classes</a></li>
    </ul>
    <ul class='nav navbar-nav navbar-right'>
      <li><a href="/messages"><i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"></i></a></li>

        <!--has to do with the link, clicking it and clicking it again-->
      <li><a class="dropdown-toggle dropdown-custom" data-toggle="dropdown" href="/profile"><i class="fa fa-user fa-lg"></i></a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
          <li><a href="/profile.html">Edit profile</a></li>
          <li><a href="/settings">Edit Preferences</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><a href="/logout"><i class="fa fa-power-off fa-lg"></i></a></li>    
    </ul>

  </div>
</nav>

CSS:

[ng\:cloak], [ng-cloak], .ng-cloak {
  display: none !important;
}
.navbar-custom {
    background-color: #586F7C;
}
.navbar-custom a {
    color: #F4F4F9;
}
.navbar-custom .nav > li > a:hover {
    background-color: #2F4550;
}
.navbar .navbar-nav > li.open > a, {
    background-color: #586F7C;
}
.navbar .navbar-nav > li.open > a:hover,
.navbar .navbar-nav > li.open > a:focus {
    background-color: #2F4550;
}
.nav >li > a:hover, .nav > li > a:focus {
  background-color: #586F7C;
}

ng-include in the file the navbar is referenced in

<div ng-include="'html/navbar.html'"></div>

portion of index.html where it references the file that the navbar is ng-included in

<body>
 <div class="view-container">
     <div ng-view class="view-frame"></div>
 </div>
</body>

The suspicion lies with the ng-view or ng-include, yet so far none of the solutions from the previous question have proven effective.

Answer №1

If you're looking for a quick fix, consider incorporating this CSS snippet:

.nav >li > a:hover, .nav > li > a:focus {
    background-color: #586F7C;
}

Update: It seems like you may have already come across a similar solution in another discussion. However, I managed to recreate "your issue". Check out this Bootply link, where if you comment out the CSS, the problem will resurface. With the CSS included, everything functions as intended.

Answer №2

The problem originated from this section:

.navbar .navbar-nav > li.open > a, {
    background-color: #586F7C;
}

The issue was caused by that extra comma. It turned out to be a simple syntax error, quite embarrassing indeed! No wonder everything appeared to be in order, all because of a tiny misplaced punctuation mark!

Answer №3

To solve the flashing anchor tag issue, a simple jQuery solution can be implemented. Add the code snippet below to target and fix the flashing behavior of the anchor tags:

  $('.navbar-custom .navbar-nav li a').on('mouseup', function(){
      $(this).blur();
  });
