# Objective
UI nodes can be hidden by setting their `Visibility` property. Since #5310 was merged, this is now ergonomic to use, as visibility is now inherited.
However, UI nodes still receive (and store) interactions when hidden, resulting in surprising hidden state (and an inability to otherwise disable UI nodes.
## Solution
Fixes#5360.
I've updated the `ui_focus_system` to accomplish this in a minimally intrusive way, and updated the docs to match.
**NOTE:** I have not added automated tests to verify this behavior, as we do not currently have a good testing paradigm for `bevy_ui`. I'm not thrilled with that by any means, but I'm not sure fixing it is within scope.
## Paths not taken
### Separate `Disabled` component
This is a much larger and more controversial change, and not well-scoped to UI.
Furthermore, it is extremely rare that you want hidden UI elements to function: the most common cases are for things like changing tabs, collapsing elements or so on.
Splitting this behavior would be more complex, and substantially violate user expectations.
### A separate limbo world
Mentioned in the linked issue. Super cool, but all of the problems of the `Disabled` component solution with a whole new RFC-worth of complexity.
### Using change detection to reduce the amount of redundant work
Adds a lot of complexity for questionable performance gains. Likely involves a complete refactor of the entire system.
We simply don't have the tests or benchmarks here to justify this.
## Changelog
- UI nodes are now always in an `Interaction::None` state while they are hidden (via the `ComputedVisibility` component).
