[I] Create Dataset / Create Dashboard: active tab indicator missing in top navigation [superset]
ARBS-23 opened a new issue, #42467:
URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/42467
### Bug description
When creating a new **Dataset** or **Dashboard**, the top navigation tab (**Dataset** or **Dashboard**) does not show the active/focused state (green underline) that other sections use.
This makes it unclear which section the user is in, especially on create flows opened from the **+ Dataset** or **+ Dashboard** actions.
The **Charts** tab shows the expected active tab styling (green underline under the tab name).
### How to reproduce the bug
1. Sign in with any account
2. Go to **Superset → Dashboard** or **Dataset**
3. Click **+ Dashboard** or **+ Dataset** to open the create screen
4. Check the top navigation tab for **Dashboard** or **Dataset**
### Expected behavior
The active tab (**Dashboard** or **Dataset**) should show the same focused styling as **Charts** (green underline under the tab name).
### Actual behavior
There is no green underline (or equivalent active state) under the **Dashboard** or **Dataset** tab on the create screens.

### Superset version
6.1.0
### Python version
3.11
### Node version
16
### Browser
Chrome
### Additional context
- This is a **UX / consistency improvement** (suggestion), not a functional failure
- Affects both **Create Dataset** and **Create Dashboard** flows
- **Charts** navigation already shows the correct active tab indicator; Dataset and Dashboard create screens should match that behavior
### Checklist
- [x] I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
- [x] I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
- [x] I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

Could you confirm the exact URL you see in the browser when you click "+ Dashboard"? That would help verify whether the same type of mismatch exists there or if it's a different issue.

The root cause is a **path prefix mismatch** in [`Menu.tsx`](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L174-L199). The active tab is determined by checking if the current path starts with specific prefixes:
```typescript
Dashboard = '/dashboard'
Chart = '/chart'
Datasets = '/tablemodelview'
```
- **Charts works** because both the list (`/chart/list/`) and create (`/chart/add`) routes share the `/chart` prefix [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L190).
- **Datasets breaks** because the list page is at `/tablemodelview/list/` but the create page is at `/dataset/add/` — which doesn't start with `/tablemodelview` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L178) [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/views/routes.tsx#L269).
A fix would be to update the switch case in `Menu.tsx` to also match the `/dataset` prefix for the Datasets tab [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L186-L199):
```typescript
case path.startsWith(Paths.Datasets) || path.startsWith('/dataset'):
setActiveTabs(['Datasets']);
break;
```
For the Dashboard create flow — the dashboard paths already use `/dashboard` as the prefix [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L176), so if the create route lives under `/dashboard/...` it should already match.
