@ben This was also for the website from Ricardo at his MAHALL site

**Bug:**  
Menu items with in-page anchor links ( href=“#section” ) work correctly on iPhone/iOS Safari but appear to do nothing on Samsung and other Android Chrome devices — the menu stays open, the page doesn’t visibly scroll to the target section.

**Cause & fix:**  
Elements’ Dropdown → Modal component doesn’t attach a close handler to the menu links, and the open dialog locks scrolling via html { overflow: hidden } ; iOS Safari is lenient about this, Android Chrome enforces it strictly, so the jump happens technically but is invisible under the still-open dialog. Fix is a small delegated click-handler script in the site template (or Wrapper custom-code component) that closes the Alpine dialog on anchor-link tap and re-runs scrollIntoView after the close transition.
