#8929 closed bug (fixed)

Menu needs adjustement for use in Selectmenu

Description (last modified by Jörn Zaefferer)

Selectmenu utilizes Menu to render its option list. When selectmenu is opened the selected item looses focus after 300ms. This is a usability problem which is currently fixed by changing this.delay in the Menu instance.

Problem is the collapseAll call on document click (create method) and the following blur event. I would remove that on click event but the mouseHandled reset is needed.

I assume kborchers should look into this.

So I've been thinking about this for a bit and the solutions I have thought might work almost all involve a new option in which I don't like. The other thing I thought about was maybe making the delay configurable and setting a delay to false would effectively set the delay to 0 but also prevent the collapseAll when clicking outside of the menu. This would allow Selectmenu to handle the menu hiding, etc. but keep the selected item highlighted. Thoughts?

We'll see if it works out but it definitely sounds promising. Does this need a lot of changes on Menu side?

comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by Jörn Zaefferer

The delay property is used in multiple places. Would the check for a boolean-false be in all of them? Or just inside the document-click handler?

If that works (either way), how about making the delay property an option and documenting it? "Configure the delay for auto-closing submenus. Set to false to prevent the auto-closing[ on clicks outside the menu]."

I can't see this being used outside of the creation of a new widget. Can we just move the conditional from inside the document click handler to a separate function and let selectmenu override that? I'd only want the conditional moved since the resetting of this.mouseHandled should still occur.

The patch works pretty nice.

Why not add a var similar to this.delay?

Sounds good to me. Kris, can you implement that?

Btw. it may be a good idea to land the change in master first, merge that to selectmenu, and apply the second commit there. Or figure out how git behaves when you merge a branch that contains a cherry-picked commit.
