I have a dropdown menu inside a nav-collapse.
When I reduce the window's width (eg: 700px), the navbar correctly collapses, then I click on btn-navbar to un-collapse it, then I click on the dropdown, but it does not drop down, the menu does not show. If then I collapse and un-collapse again, the dropdown starts working.
The same happens when the window's width is small from the beginning.
It's like the height of the collapsed part was fixed at the beginning, and it doesn't let the dropdown do its thing.

- @popnoodles So what should I do? The code I'm using is from the documentation, I think I didn't make a mistake. – ChocoDeveloper Commented Nov 26, 2012 at 23:19
- i can't reproduce what you're getting. – Popnoodles Commented Nov 26, 2012 at 23:55
- @popnoodles I guess bootstrap is not really crossbrowser and responsive after all. – ChocoDeveloper Commented Nov 27, 2012 at 0:25
- @popnoodles The behavior you're describing is 2.1, not 2.2. I almost made the same mistake. – merv Commented Nov 27, 2012 at 20:17

Reset to default 12A lot of people were reporting this as a bug on the repo (eg. Issue #5671, Issue #5890, Issue #6019).
In response to #5671, someone points out that as per the docs on responsive Navbar, when using the class navbar-collapse you must also include collapse. Seems that your example suffers from this same (albeit easily overlooked) flaw.
