In Search View, the drop down menu for "Previous Search" ends up off-screen (bottom right of picture)

Comment 2 Dani Megert 2003-06-02 10:02:01 EDT

The search view uses standard Platform UI code to show that menu.

Comment 3 Veronika Irvine 2003-07-10 09:36:29 EDT

Moving back to Platform UI.

The positioning of the menu is done by JFace.  I believe the code is in 
ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection.  This code just positions the 
menu under the toolitem.  It does not consider whether the menu will be 
offscreen either to the right or below.:

} else if ((style & SWT.DROP_DOWN) != 0) {
	if (e.detail == 4) {	// on drop-down button
		if (action.getStyle() == IAction.AS_DROP_DOWN_MENU) {
			IMenuCreator mc = action.getMenuCreator();
			ToolItem ti = (ToolItem) item;
			// we create the menu as a sub-menu of "dummy" so that 
we can use
			// it in a cascading menu too.
			// If created on a SWT control we would get an SWT 
error...
			//Menu dummy= new Menu(ti.getParent());
			//Menu m= mc.getMenu(dummy);
			//dummy.dispose();
			if (mc != null) {
				Menu m= mc.getMenu(ti.getParent());
				if (m != null) {
					// position the menu below the drop 
down item
					Rectangle b = ti.getBounds();
					Point p = ti.getParent().toDisplay(new 
Point(b.x, b.y+b.height));
					m.setLocation(p.x, p.y);	// 
waiting for SWT 0.42
					m.setVisible(true);
					return;	// we don't fire the action
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

While this code has not changed, I do not see the visual effect described.  
Window is maximized, KDE 3.2, GTK 2.2.4, and Eclipse I20040219.  Do you still 
see the problem in a recent Eclipse 3.0 integration build?

Hi Douglas!  Unfortunately, I'm using M7's GTK (on KDE 3.0.5 though) and still have this problem. 

Comment 6 Billy Biggs 2004-09-16 16:40:34 EDT

What version of GTK+ are you using?  I cannot reproduce this under GNOME 2.2 or
KDE 3.1, using either GTK+ 2.2.1 or GTK+ 2.4.9.  I wonder if this may have been
a limitation in the GTK+ 2.0.x series?

No response, closing as WORKSFORME.   Please re-open if you have more 
information.

Hello all,

My apologies for the lack of response as I've been away from the office :)  

Billy & Douglas, thanks for doing the checks!  This bug did happen a while ago
so it could possibly have been a version limitation or fixed indirectly since.  

Thanks for closing the bug! :)

Yours,
C.
