 In WordPress 7.0, multiple admin sidebar menus appear active/highlighted
 at the same time.

 ## Issue

 When navigating to a specific admin menu item, another unrelated menu
 still appears active with background highlighting.

 ### Example

 * Open the **Comments** menu
 * The **Posts** menu still appears active/highlighted in the sidebar

 This creates UI confusion because multiple menus look selected
 simultaneously.

 ## Expected Result

 Only the currently active admin menu should:

 * display active state
 * show highlighted background
 * appear selected

 ## Actual Result

 Two or more menus appear active at the same time.

 ## Environment

 * WordPress Version: 7.0
 * Admin Area
 * Reproducible on multiple pages

 ## Steps to Reproduce

 1. Login to WordPress admin
 2. Navigate to Comments menu
 3. Observe Posts menu still highlighted/active
 4. Repeat with other admin menus if applicable

 ## Impact

 * Confusing admin navigation
 * Incorrect active menu indication
 * Minor UI/UX inconsistency
