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
