Selecting a plant item in the Booked to dropdown silently did nothing. The menu
opened, the option highlighted, and clicking it produced no request at all — the
menu just closed. Reproduced with a real browser click: no POST to /book.
The menu is rendered with createPortal(..., document.body) because the line table
lives in an overflow-x-auto container that would clip an in-place dropdown. A
portal is not a DOM descendant of the component that made it, so the click-away
handler's `boxRef.contains(target)` reported every option as an outside click:
mousedown closed the menu, React unmounted the button, and the click that would
have booked it never landed. The menu now has its own ref and is treated as part
of the control. Verified with a real click — the booking posts, the site clears,
and the unbooked badge goes.
The site dropdown was never affected; it is a native <select>, outside the portal.
Also on this screen:
- The Booked to column needs min-w-[240px] with the two pickers stacked inside
it. At 768px the column is only ~166px, so two 200px controls could not sit
side by side; as flex children they compressed into each other by ~12px, and
once they were not allowed to shrink they spilled past the edge of the table.
- Dropped the "Booked to income / VAT to SARS / Billed to customer / Still
unbooked" money block, its component and the variables feeding it. The status
line stays: "1 line not yet booked to a machine".
Typecheck and build green. Checked at 768x1024 and 375x812: no page overflow, no
control past the table edge, no tap target under 44px.
