Wrong position for nested menu

[Sandro Martini <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a minimal enhancement (in usability) in
ComponentExporer, but probably there is something strange in
positioning a nested popup menu (see screenshot in attach).
The change would be a menu with the ability to select (check) all and
deselect (uncheck) all checkboxes fot event listeners ... could be
useful when changing behavior in different components and for example
want to see only few listeners enabled.

In attach I put a (only a starting point) patch to see the strange
bevior for component_explorer_window.bxml

Someone has already seen this ?

Thanks,
Sandro

Hi all,
someone has idea on how to do a quick fix it for 2.0.1 ?

This is the related issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-809
but we could even move to 2.0.2 or 2.1 if it's not a problem ... tell me.

Bye

Yes, that's exactly the problem ... I remember an old issue (should be
already fixed but I don't find it in jira, sorry). It's the
positioning of popups that should be improved (or at least keep on the
right side, but shifted to be able to see it completely) ...

Suggestions ? Patch ( :-) ) ?


Thanks for now.

Sandro,

I can't see an attached screenshot, but I applied the patch and see
that the sub-menu opens to the *right* side of the
'%eventLoggerPane.changeSelection' menu, so is not properly visible.

Is that what you saw?

I have (tried) to attach a screenshot showing this.  In the
screenshot, my mouse cursor was over the *first* option in the
submenu.
