Drop down menus with checkable options no longer auto-close [iPad]

[Ash]

Apps: All
Platforms: iPad

Any menus which currently have checkable options such as the move tool options, and view options will no longer auto-close after changing the state of one item. Previous behaviour was reported as being annoying, for example turning on multiple items like margins, guides and grid would take 6 taps instead of 3. Tapping anywhere else on UI hides the menus straight away anyway.

We'd be interested in feedback to confirm this new behaviour is considered preferable.

I was not here when the menus would auto close on you but yes. Its much better now to have them open and stay open while I turn on the  options that I need. 

There is something though that is still very annoying about the move tool options. For the move tool options, when you bring out the menu for it you can choose to turn on 6 of the options that are available. So once you turn these 6 options on they stay on for that document but when you create a new document theyre turned off. So you have to go into the move tool options in that new document and turn on these options again and its like that for each document you create. It would be better if we could have these option stay on for every document we create and turn them off when we decide to turn them off. Its annoying to have to go into the move tool option for every document we create just to turn them back on. Id like them to stay on.

The Node snapping menu is not functioning properly for the Node & Pen tools. It takes two clicks to activate any option, and activating another option will deactivate an already active option. Activating multiple options is very difficult, & it is nearly impossible to activate all the options at once. Screen recording attached.

Additionally, I’d like to suggest also keeping the Move Options menu open when selecting Cycle Selection Box. Or maybe moving Cycle Selection Box directly to the context toolbar? The auto-closing menu can get a bit frustrating when cycling through, if you’re working with an isometric grid.
