bug: Issue with Disabling Menu Using MenuController in Ionic 8 (Standalone Project)

[rasheeek]

Prerequisites

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

Current Behavior

The menu is supposed to be disabled using the MenuController. Despite implementing this.menuCtrl.enable(false) in the appropriate lifecycle hooks (ionViewWillEnter, ngOnInit), the menu remains accessible and can be opened by swiping or clicking the menu button.

Expected Behavior

The menu should be completely disabled, preventing any interaction with it. The menu should not be accessible through swiping or by using the menu button.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Ionic Angular application with a side menu.
2. Create a page where the menu should be disabled.
3. Implement this.menuCtrl.enable(false) in ionViewWillEnter and ngOnInit within the page
4. Run the application and navigate to the page.
5. Observe that the menu is still accessible despite the attempt to disable it.
