Restore correct menu drag dropdown behavior in ShadCN

[sauerben]

Summary

Restores the previous drag handle behavior in ShadCN UI: clicking the block drag handle opens its dropdown, while dragging a block keeps the dropdown closed.

Rationale

Base UI opens menus on mouse down, unlike the previous Radix implementation and the current Mantine and Ariakit integrations. Because the block drag handle is both draggable and a menu trigger, this caused the dropdown to appear as soon as a block drag started. The regression was also visible in the ShadCN demos.

Opening the menu after a completed click restores the behavior from before the Base UI migration.

Changes

• Open ShadCN menus on click instead of mouse down.
• Preserve block dragging without displaying the drag handle dropdown.
• Preserve mouse and keyboard activation through click, Enter, and Space.
• Add browser tests covering menu timing, dragging, and subsequent activation.

Impact

This changes non-submenu ShadCN menu triggers to open when the click completes instead of when the pointer is pressed. Submenus are unaffected.

The behavior now matches the previous Radix implementation and the Mantine and Ariakit integrations.

Testing

• Added end-to-end coverage confirming that:
  • The dropdown remains closed while the pointer is pressed.
  • Starting and completing a block drag does not open the dropdown.
  • The menu can still be opened after dragging with a click, Enter, or Space.
• Ran the focused tests in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit: 12 tests passed.
• Ran lint on the changed menu and test files with no errors or warnings.
• Ran React Doctor with a score of 100/100 and no reported issues.
• Started the ShadCN example against the local workspace sources for manual verification.

Checklist

• Code follows the project's coding standards.
• Unit tests covering the new feature have been added.
• All existing tests pass.

Additional Notes

The regression was introduced by the difference between Base UI's mouse-down menu activation and the click-based behavior used by the other UI integrations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Menus triggered from draggable controls now open correctly on click or keyboard activation.
  • Starting a drag no longer unintentionally opens the menu.
  • Menu interactions now behave consistently when using mouse, Enter, or Space.

Walkthrough

MenuTrigger bypasses Base UI pointer tracking so draggable triggers open menus on activation. End-to-end tests cover mouse release, dragging, click, Enter, and Space behavior.

Rename the local selector constant.

The test does not import the shared DRAG_HANDLE_MENU_SELECTOR, so no redeclaration occurs. The local constant still uses the same name for a different selector. Rename it to SHADCN_DRAG_HANDLE_MENU_SELECTOR and update its five usages. DragHandleMenu renders .bn-drag-handle-menu.
