Bad UI/UX in workflow state machine editor: Cannot delete status
Dear Sir or Madam,
when using the workflow “state machine” editor, I cannot use the three dot menu options as they only appear on hover over the state, but the options modal is entirely out of the state button. So, when I move my mouse to select one of the options, it disappears.
I'll attach a gif demonstrating the behaviour: Upload id: 2026_06_01_22HWDud4v7dNgDGp5VzVyo (file: chrome_wNplVNXDAv.gif)
I've also tried backspace to delete, but no luck.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hi there, and thank you for reporting this!
We were able to reproduce this. The three-dot menu in the state machine editor closes when moving the cursor toward the options. We've reported it to the development team: JT-96494

Hello, unfortunately, I only see the issue when not signed in and if I am signed it, it says unauthorized… :(
Hi there,
Thanks for the heads up! I checked the access with a new account, and it worked just fine, so this is likely a problem with stale cookies or cached credentials in your browser.
Here's what to try:
- Log out of your account on youtrack.jetbrains.com and log back in
- Clear the cookies and site data for `youtrack.jetbrains.com` in your browser settings, then sign in again
- If neither works, try opening the link in a different browser
Hope this helps!
