Problem

On iOS 26+ (Liquid Glass), closing a filter pill menu clips the closing menu at the bottom of the pill row, lets the list rows cover it, and garbles the pill's label as the menu morphs back. This affects the Home All environments / All projects pills and every pill on the Pull requests tab. To reproduce on main: open All projects on Home, tap outside, and watch the pill.

Change

Clipping: the pill row's horizontal ScrollView now has overflow: "visible", and the Home and Pull requests lists set ListHeaderComponentStyle={{ zIndex: 1 }}. The closing morph now draws past the pill row and above the rows. On device, either change alone still left a straight cut at the first row.
Garbled label: our patch of @react-native-menu/menu (ios/Shared/MenuViewImplementation.swift) now gives UIKit a highlight and dismissal preview of the trigger instead of the transparent UIButton overlay. UIKit used to morph into the invisible button and hide only it, so the system glass lensed over the still-visible label.
- When the trigger draws glass (the expo-glass-effect GlassView in Chip), the preview targets that view's UIVisualEffectView, so UIKit morphs glass into glass and lands on the intact pill. An earlier revision of this PR previewed the React content view instead. That snapshot dropped the glass, so after landing the pill showed only its label, slightly higher, for about 1.2 s.
- Triggers without glass (rounded icon buttons, the composer +) still preview their content view.
- When the user picks an action, the menu fades out instead of morphing. A selection re-renders the pill (label, width, tint), and a landing preview would keep showing the old look until UIKit releases it.
- This applies on iOS 26+ only, in tap mode only, and only when the trigger is a single view with its own corner radius, which is used as the preview shape. Everything else (rectangular rows, the split-button segment, long-press menus, iOS 18–25) keeps UIButton's default preview.

Verification

Dev clients built from main and from this branch.
iOS 26.5: local iPhone 17 simulator. The clips are cropped to the pill row because that simulator has other environments paired.
iOS 27.2: iPhone 17 Pro leased from the Simlock pool, with an isolated server and fixture projects.
The PR head 6f15788 rows use the content-view preview from the earlier revision, rebuilt from the same code in an instrumented build. That build only adds logging and cycles through preview strategies per open.

iOS 27.2 composer attachment menu open and close: main and fix (0.5x)

What the recordings show:

Close:
- Main: the label lenses ("Al' projects") as the menu lands.
- PR head: the pill loses its glass capsule for about 1.2 s, then snaps back.
- Fix: the glass lands on the intact pill and settles in place. Frame diffs against the settled pill fall smoothly to encoder noise, with no snap at the end.
Selection:
- Main: the label garbles during the morph.
- PR head: a clipped snapshot of the old pill ("ct-native-screen") stays for about 1.3 s.
- Fix: the menu fades, and the pill updates in place one or two frames later.
Composer +: main lenses the icon. The fix lands with a short spring and settles within about 0.3 s.

What else changed:

Tinted pill on iOS 26.5: after the glass lands, a faint dark glow stays at the pill's centre for about 1.2 s, where the menu merged back. It does not appear on iOS 27.2. The glow persisted with isInteractive disabled on the chip, so it appears to come from UIKit's glass merge.

Not verified:

iOS 18: the preview is gated to iOS 26+, so iOS 18 keeps main's behaviour.
Android: this revision changes only iOS Swift, so Android is unaffected by it. The earlier JS changes (pill row overflow, header zIndex) were not run on Android.
The Pull requests tab pills on this revision. They use the same ListFilterMenu chip as Home.
The PR environment pill, which needs two environments.
iPad sidebar layout.
These recordings were taken before rebasing onto current main. The rebase did not touch the patch or the mobile files in this PR.

Overlap: #15192 edits the same patch file. Both merge cleanly into main today, but they conflict with each other in the patch and in pnpm-lock.yaml. Whichever lands second regenerates its patch.

Walkthrough

The iOS menu patch changes menu interaction callbacks, previews, and updates during presentation. Home and pull request filter lists set visible overflow on filter scroll views and raise list headers above rows.

Changes: iOS filter menus

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Native menu interaction and updates `patches/@react-native-menu__menu@2.0.0.patch`	The patch adds `onMenuInteractionStart`, adjusts preview and long-press handling, and defers menu updates while a menu is presented. It also changes submenu action conversion and image lookup.
Filter list overflow and header stacking `apps/mobile/src/features/home/HomeScreen.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/features/home/ThreadListFilters.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/PullRequestListFilters.tsx`, `apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/PullRequestsScreen.tsx`	The filter-pill scroll views use `overflow: "visible"`. The Home and Pull requests list headers use a z-index of `1`.

Explanation

The description is mostly complete. It covers the problem, fix, linked issue, and verification. It should also explain and verify the patch's menu callbacks, update handling, long-press changes, and submenu serialization.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#31086] The filter-row overflow and list-header zIndex changes address clipping. The iOS 26 rounded-trigger content preview addresses label garbling. The reported test at 6f157882a0 also shows a flat pill without its glass rim for about 1.2 seconds after landing and a blank pill on first open. The reviewed head is 2e02a842bc5de6dfe311daef7b2b0bc0373473ea. The available evidence does not establish whether those artifacts remain at that head. The issue requires the glass to remain visible and the pill to look the same before and after.

Resolution

Provide focused evidence of the dismissal and first-open behavior at the reviewed head, including whether the glass rim remains visible.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#31086] The filter-row, list-header, and content-preview changes support the dismissal fix. The patch summary also reports changes to submenu nesting, keepsMenuPresented, submenu subtitles, and image lookup. The available evidence does not establish how those changes support the filter-menu dismissal fix.

Resolution

Provide the focused patch changes and their connection to the filter-menu dismissal fix so their scope can be assessed.

Both items are about code this PR doesn't change.

Deferred press (patch lines 197–198, Menu.tsx): onMenuInteractionStart, isPreparing and pendingPress are already on main. Neither the patch hunks in this PR nor any JS file here touch them. If a configuration that is never displayed can drop a deferred press, that is pre-existing and belongs in its own issue.
Out-of-scope check: the submenu nesting, submenu identifiers and subtitles, empty-image skip, onMenuInteractionStart and the long-press interaction host are all already in the patch on main. The patch-file diff in this PR (git diff origin/main...HEAD -- patches/) changes only MenuViewImplementation.swift: the highlight and dismissal previews, the glass-view target, and the fade after a selection.
Linked-issue evidence: the 1.2 s glassless pill and the clipped pill after a selection were real at 6f15788. Both are fixed at 2e02a842bc. The PR body now has main / PR head / fix recordings of each, on iOS 26.5 and 27.2. The Pull requests pills use the same ListFilterMenu chip as Home and were not re-recorded on this revision; the body says so.

Release the deferred press when a menu interaction never displays.
The native layer sends the interaction-start event from configurationForMenuAtLocation (patch lines 197-198). Menu.tsx sets isPreparing on that event (lines 79-82). While isPreparing is true, a touch release stores the press in pendingPress and does not invoke it (lines 69-73).
pendingPress is released only in onCloseMenu (lines 94-98). The native close event is sent only from willEndFor (patch line 216), and the open event only from willDisplayMenuFor (patch line 211). If UIKit requests a configuration and cancels it before display, the close event may never fire. The deferred press can then be dropped. The next touch clears pendingPress (line 58), so the loss is limited to that gesture.
The patch comment already notes that UIKit can request a configuration for a press that never opens a menu (patch line 207). The wrapper comment at Menu.tsx:70 expects a display or cancel callback, but the inspected native changes do not send one.
Add a cancellation path. The native layer needs a signal for a configuration that does not display. The wrapper must then release pendingPress on that signal without opening the menu. Confirm the UIKit delegate sequence on iOS before adding the signal.
As per coding guidelines: "If you added a way in, add the way out and the way to see it."

[GPT-6.1][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Handing #31086 over to this PR and stopping our duplicate implementation. These findings come from independent experiments based on 8ab024f31a6d285015c4fb84e52a0183f614e237, on an iPhone 17 simulator running iOS 27.0. I have not tested this PR's head.

Previewing the React trigger removed the clipping and label garble, but its glass rim disappeared until UIKit released the preview about 1.3 seconds after dismissal. The clip below shows that experiment, native build cc4494d3703e913d34b37e5a7258d4b83d3ed031. Independent content-preview experiment

Keeping the glass outside the preview retained its rim, but selecting Open then All states left white text on an untinted pill for about 1.3 seconds before the blue glass caught up. These frames show that failed variant on the same native build.

Making the menu's UIButton own the glass, title and symbol removed those animation artifacts in our later experiment, but text fit still needed work. We did not ship it or open a competing PR. The attachments document experimental failures and do not verify this PR.

JJulius Marminge2d ago

Thanks, this was the right lead. Your content-preview clip matched what we saw at 6f15788: no glass for about 1.2 s after landing.

At 2e02a842bc the patch targets the UIVisualEffectView inside expo-glass-effect's GlassView instead of the React content view. UIKit then morphs glass into glass and lands on the intact pill, and the chip keeps its React title, symbol and text fitting. Moving the glass, title and symbol into the UIButton would also have worked, but it costs more code and brings back the text-fit problem you mentioned.

Your second variant (tint lagging after a selection) shows up with any landing preview, because the trigger re-renders while UIKit still holds the old look. After an action is picked, the menu now fades out and the pill updates in place. The PR body has main / PR head / fix recordings for close, selection and the tinted pill on iOS 26.5, plus iOS 27.2.
