Server Version#: 1.22.1.4228  
Player Version#: Plex Web 4.54.4

The Library Action menu doesn’t appear the first time you click it after selecting a library. This is just an odd little glitch. It doesn’t seem to be causing any problems other than having to click the menu icon twice to get the menu.

I have reproduced this using Firefox 87 on Linux Mint 20.1, Vivaldi (a Chrome-based browser), and MS Edge on Windows 10.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click on ‘Home.’
2. Click on any Library.
3. Click on Action menu for that Library.
4. Notice that the Action menu icon disappears, but the menu does not appear.
5. Click on the Action menu icon again, and the menu appears normally.

This doesn’t really seem like something logs would be useful for, but just in case:

I can reproduce this on Firefox (step 1 is not needed).  
Whatever it is, I cannot reproduce this behavior in Safari

If it helps, I was able to prevent this from happening using the Stylus browser extension, and applying the following CSS:

[class^=“SourceSidebarItem-hiddenOverflowButton-OuaYQX”] {  
visibility: visible;  
}

If that is active, the problem does not occur.
