…ck#650) ## Problem The framework and library dropdown menus in the search modal could only be opened once per search session. After the first open-close cycle, subsequent attempts to open the dropdown would fail until the entire search modal was closed and reopened. ## Root Cause The `modal={true}` prop in the Radix Dropdown component creates a modal context that blocks interactions with elements outside the dropdown. This prevented proper state management and focus handling for reopening the dropdown. ## Solution 1. Removed `modal={true}` prop from Dropdown component 2. Removed overly defensive event handlers (onPointerDownOutside, onEscapeKeyDown) 3. Implemented intelligent `onInteractOutside` handler with boundary detection ## Changes - src/components/Dropdown.tsx: Added onInteractOutside with boundary detection - src/components/SearchModal.tsx: Removed modal={true} prop ## Testing ✅ Dropdown opens on first click ✅ Dropdown closes on second click ✅ Dropdown opens again on third click (previously broken - NOW FIXED!) ✅ Multiple open/close cycles work consistently ✅ Keyboard navigation works correctly ✅ Clicking outside dropdown closes it naturally Fixes TanStack#650
