💡 What is the current behavior?

Opening the group kebab (ix-group-context-menu) or the application-header ix-avatar menu applies native :hover / :active only while the pointer stays on the trigger. Moving into the overlay (or pressing Escape without a lock) drops the trigger back to Default, so it no longer matches Figma Active while the dropdown is open.

Header avatar is not an ix-button. Putting active only on the inner native button did not keep the tertiary Active fill once the pointer left the glyph (scrollbar visual: hover last item).

GitHub Issue Number: #1402 (EIX-151)

🆕 What is the new behavior?

  • Overlay still owns when the menu is open; the button owns how it looks. Host class active (not a public active prop, not selected, not a global aria-expanded style).
  • ix-group-context-menu observes the slotted ix-dropdown showChanged event and sets active plus aria-expanded / aria-haspopup on the kebab ix-icon-button. showContextMenu remains “kebab visible” (slot has content); dropdownShow is “overlay open”.
  • Header ix-avatar sets active on the host (:host(.avatar-button.active) locks tertiary Active via btn-active-look) and on the inner BaseButton (extraClasses). aria-expanded was already tied to dropdownShow.

Open trigger states

Layer / File(s) Summary
Avatar trigger styling and validation
packages/core/src/components/avatar/*, packages/core/src/components/avatar/test/*, testing/visual-testing/tests/avatar/*, .changeset/group-avatar-open-active.md
Avatar triggers use subtle-tertiary styling and receive active state while the dropdown is open. Tests verify active and expanded states, Escape handling, and visual synchronization.
Group context-menu state and accessibility
packages/core/src/components/group/*, packages/core/src/components/group/test/*, testing/visual-testing/tests/group/*
Group context menus track dropdown visibility, manage listeners, expose active and accessibility attributes, and verify open and closed states.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5bbd7

The PR improves active-state behavior for open menus, but lifecycle changes can leave a trigger appearing active and expanded after a dropdown is reconnected or replaced while the menu is closed. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for this bounded state-synchronization risk.

the incoming dropdown’s current `show` value. Add regression coverage for
replacing it with both a closed dropdown and an already-open dropdown, ensuring
stale state is replaced immediately.

67-69: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a reconnect lifecycle path for dropdown listener binding.

disconnectedCallback() removes the showChanged listener, but the component has no reconnect handling. Reconnecting without changing the assigned slotted nodes does not guarantee a slotchange event, so dropdownShow synchronization can remain disabled. Add reconnect coverage and rebind the dropdown listener on reconnect.
