[RESOLVED] [Suggestion] Make it so the Alert button closes the alert menu instead of going to the full alert me

When you click on the Alert button in the top right it opens up a miniaturized version of the full alert menu thing. On the bottom of it there is a button to show the full alert menu, it's labeled as "show all"

The thing I find annoying is that when you click the alert menu button a second time it doesn't close it, instead it does the same thing as the show all button.

My suggestion is to make it so that when clicking on the alert button for a second time it closes it, instead of just mimicking the show all button.

Otoh, I had forgotten it did that, but find that easier to click than the smaller "show all" link.

You can click below or next to the dropdown to close it. I'm not sure if that runs into competing access needs at any point. I know on an older device with a smaller screen, I didn't get the option to have the dropdown because it got collapsed into another menu; but I don't know how that feature would interact with accessibility features of the browser out near the extremes.

The new XF2 update has implemented my suggestion, now when tapping/clicking on the alert icon a 2nd time it closes it instead of opening the full page alert menu.
