My Account dropdown stays open when it should close #419

The "My Account" dropdown currently stays open unless you click "My Account" again. This is not expected nor desired behavior.

The dropdown should close if you do any of the following:

click on an option in the dropdown
navigate to a different page
click anywhere outside of the dropdown

The same behavior exists for the search dropdown, and header navigation 'clicks' in mobile view. I can address that in this issue as well.

The problem is the component doesn't close by default in SPAs; since page navigation doesn't trigger a new network request, the element remains in the previous state.
