Top-level menu items in the footer region are too far away from their submenu items

Moving it closer to the rest of the content would make it easier for a zoom text user to spot for sure. https://www.digitala11y.com/understanding-sc-1-3-3-sensory-characteristics/

I agree with the proposed resolution from @rkoller:

One idea we came up with, while the submenu items are aligned to the top for top level menu items within the content region, it might be worth to consider to align the submenu items for top level menu items in the footer region to the bottom instead?

I also think that https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/content-on-hover-or-focus applies, especially for users with tremors or other motor disabilities, especially if they use touch devices. I could also see this being an issue for users with cognitive disabilities.

good point, i am adding SC1.4.13 as a tag per #4 🐛 Top-level menu items in the footer region are too far away from their submenu items Active

Hi, I tried to reproduce the issue but everything appears to be working fine on my end. Am I possibly missing something? The submenus seem to be correctly aligned with the top-level menus. I've attached a screen recording for reference.

@libbna the problem is that if you are expanding the submenu in the footer region the action sub menu menu items are not in close proximity to your cursor and focus, you have to to scroll up until you reach the actual menu items. for sighted users not a problem but if you have to rely on zoom (as illustrated in for example picture_in_picture.mp4) or you are trying the straw test to simulate the situation manually you will have a hard time to reach the sub menu aligned to the top. and there is also the danger that the hover state is lost if someone with is trying to reach the submenu at the top in case of tremors or other motor disabilities added in #4 🐛 Top-level menu items in the footer region are too far away from their submenu items Active by @katannshaw
