[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-273) Mousing over a different menu item does not close any open menu popup

["Greg Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-273?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12751062#action_12751062 ] 

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-273:
----------------------------------

This happens because the menu item has no way to know that it needs to close the popup. We can't simply close it when the menu item loses focus, since it will often lose focus to its sub-menu. It then has no way to be notified when a sibling menu item obtains the focus.

We need to move to a model that relies on menu item selection state, rather than focus state, as is done in the menu bar. Each menu item in a menu will belong to a button group. When the item is selected, it will display the sub-menu (if any). When de-selected, it will close the sub-menu.
