In its current state, the dropdown menu on the navigation bar is prone to flickering, and it is sometimes hard to click the button you want to hit. If your cursor hovers just one pixel outside of the hitbox the menu disappears.

There are a few ways to solve this, from introducing a delay (with the issue that it creates lag) to smarter approaches that analyze mouse movement. Some more details and code examples can be found in this article: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2021/05/frustrating-design-patterns-mega-dropdown-hover-menus/
