fix(mosaic): strip native button styling from switcher rows by alexcarpenter · Pull Request #10466 · clerk/javascript

alexcarpenter · 2026-10-27T18:26:00Z

Description

Clickable rows in <UserButton /> and <OrganizationSwitcher /> render as a native <button>. reset.base only resets margin, padding, box-sizing, color and font, so on a page without a global CSS reset those rows showed the browser's default gray fill and outset border. This came up in the screenshots from #10451.

styles.interactive in switcher-item.styles.ts now sets appearance: 'none', borderStyle: 'none' and a transparent default background. This matches how Button, SegmentedControl and the other controls strip native styling in their own styles.

Add coverage for the interactive row reset.

The existing switcher tests do not render SwitcherItem or pass a render prop, so they cannot detect removal of the interactive borderStyle, appearance, or transparent background declarations. Add a feature or browser test that renders a clickable switcher row and checks the resulting reset.
