[GitHub] [netbeans] KW57 opened a new issue, #5263: Can't select last item of context menu on Projects Window

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

KW57 opened a new issue, #5263:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5263

   ### Apache NetBeans version
   
   Apache NetBeans 16
   
   ### What happened
   
   I have netbeans running in full screen.
   
   I have a long list of Projects in the Projects window. When I right-click (context menu) items near the top I can select 'Properties' (the last item in the context menu' OK. In this case the context menu doesn't reach the bottom of the screen. However when I right-click projects lower down, so that the context menu now extends to the bottom of the screen, I can no longer select the last item (Properties) with the mouse. Specifically, the mouse hovers over 'Properties' but it doesn't highlight and left clicking fails to select it.
   
   The workaround is to use the keyboard arrows keys to select 'Properties' and then press 'Enter' to select it.
   
   Problem also exists on other context menus (e.g. 'Files' on Project Window), i.e. cannot select 'Tools' as the last context menu item when the menu extens to screen bottom.
   
   I would provide screen prints but this doesn't work when a context menu is active, although I understand there are software options to provide this functionality is you'd like me to do this.
   
   I appreciate this may not be an issue with netbeans and could be an issue with my OS and/or GUI but I'm unable to reproduce this on any other application on my system (they all move context menus away from the screen bottom).
   
   ### How to reproduce
   
   Short of creating a lot of Projects, this issue may be reproducible by resizing the netbeans window to make it long and narrow then placing it very near the screen bottom, then right-click a project to force the context menu to extend to the screen bottom. Therefore issue also exists when not in full screen.
   
   Issues also in netbeans version 15. Don't know about earlier, sorry.
   
   ### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
   
   No / Don't know
