How does this create any problem? What does "displayed independently" mean?
I get exactly the same behavior in Firefox 50 on a desktop machine...

It clutters the display.
The cluttered display possibly causes trouble to the user as shown in the first screenshot.
The currently active menu is not known

The main point is utterly clutters the display as shown in the screenshots.

What does "displayed independently" mean?

When one menu is clicked any other open menu must be close.

I didn't get that. You see overlapping menus in the desktop browser ? Actually I don't get overlapping menus.

Yes, I see overlapping menus in a desktop browser with a very small browser window width, as there is no "mobile version of Phabricator". :)

You are right about that. I saw that just now. The problem doesn't seem to occur in a full screen browser but when the size of the browser is reduced then the problem occurs. I actually meant the version of the phabricator displayed for the mobile browsers. :)

Cannot reproduce anymore in a small window with Firefox 76 on desktop - when I open a new dropdown the other open one closes here.
@Kaartic: Can you still reproduce in some place? If yes, a clear list of steps to reproduce (click by click) would be welcome!

I can confirm the same on a Firefox 76.0.1 on desktop and Firefox Preview (Fenix) 5.0.0 on mobile.

@Kaartic: Can you still reproduce in some place?

So, that's a no :)

Yay, thanks for the quick reply!
