fix(docked nav): persistent inline nav by jcmill · Pull Request #12653 · patternfly/patternfly-react

jcmill · 2026-09-15T13:32:37Z

Updated Docked Nav link behavior so desktop inline navigation remains expanded after selection, while overlay navigation closes when a link is clicked.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Selecting a navigation item while dock text is expanded now preserves the expanded dock on desktop.
- On mobile, selecting an item while the dock is expanded resets the expanded state and closes the navigation overlay. In other dock states, selecting an item continues to collapse the dock as before.

Walkthrough

The navigation selection handlers now preserve the dock under their specified text-expanded conditions. Otherwise, the handlers continue through existing dock-state reset logic.
