## Description
**Issue:** When typing "@" in reply mode and then switching to private
note mode, the user mentions menu remains visible and cannot be
dismissed.
**Cause:** The Prose Mirror suggestion plugin for "@" was active in both
reply modes (normal and private). When triggered in normal reply mode
and then switching to private note mode, the menu would remain open and
couldn't be dismissed.
**Solution**
```
createSuggestionPlugin({
trigger: '@',
showMenu: showUserMentions,
searchTerm: mentionSearchKey,
isAllowed: () => props.isPrivate, // Only allow @ mentions in private note mode
}),
```
1. By setting `isAllowed: () => props.isPrivate`, the @ mention trigger
will only activate when in private note mode
2. In normal reply mode, the plugin won't activate at all since
`isAllowed` returns false
3. This prevents the menu from being triggered in the wrong context and
fix the scenario where the menu gets stuck.
