 So is this not actually an issue given what I shared in [comment:22 my
 comment]?

 > 2. The left sidebar cross-fading from one state to the other on some
 navigations, and cross-fading+using an accordion-like animations on other
 navigations. I would expect it to only use that accordion effect to hide
 one part of the sidebar and expand another. That motion tells me what is
 happening. The cross-fade makes it confusing, as in I'm left wondering
 "what just happened? what changed?"

 I think I see what you mean. I see two issues:

 1. The submenu doesn't actually change its height when transitioning
 between open and closed states. So when transitioning from open to closed,
 fading submenu appears overlaid on top of subsequent menu items.
 2. The "Collapse Menu" was not getting its own view transition snapshot,
 causing it to only fade between page navigations and not animate into
 place.

 I've opened https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11912 to
 fix these issues.

 Nevertheless, I still see occasionally that when navigating from Settings
 to Users that there is a lack of an accordion animation on the submenu. A
 fade only happens sometimes. I haven't identified specifically what the
 issue is.
