Bug with highlighting of anchors in navigation menu, any workaround?

Wimads · January 2023

Hi all,

I've noticed a bug when using anchors in the navigation menu.

I have a landing page with 5 flex sections. Each flex section has an anchor which is shown in the navigation menu. They all work as expected except for one small but glaring detail: if the flex section exceeds a certain length, the anchor will not get highlighted in the navigation menu when scrolling over it; and will also not remain highlighted when clicking it. But the shorter sections behave as expected. (I have not tested what the exact length in pixels would be however).

So now I have got a landing page where 2 out of 5 menu items do not get highlighted as expected, and the other 3 do. It is not a big deal in the sense that my page functions well and is fully navigable, but the inconsistency of the behaviour just looks a bit unprofessional...

For reference: www.lampje-aan.nl/en -- "lighting design" and "biophilic design" are the sections that don't highlight.

Is there a way to solve this? perhaps in the HTML or CSS code? Or should I just wait and hope this will get fixed at some point?

Hi @Wimads - thanks for the quick response.

I checked with the Duda team and unfortunately, it is a known issue but still does not have a date for a fix at this time.

@Aj_Cre8 or @Shane_Hodge - do either of you have custom code that could override this behavior?

I did also see this on the Ideas Board - I just upvoted it myself if you want to do so too:

Hi @ScottyStrehlow and @Wimads I checked with the team this is the reply.

Upon checking Boss, yes, it is possible to adjust the anchor. However, we need access to their site so we can apply the CSS and Javascript code.

So over to you now.

Hugs to all

Hi @Wimads,

I see you never got an answer here. Is this issue still occurring for you?

Hi, yes its still an issue. You can open my site (linked in OP) to see the behaviour; its still showing the same behaviour in the editor as well. Would be great if it can be fixed somehow, its a bit of a glaring bug on my website currently, even if it doesn't impact it functionally.
