Description Susan McCourt CLA 2012-11-07 16:21:13 EST 
we need a lightweight dropdown implementation that displays a simple list (and potential sublist) under a button.  This includes:
- down arrow in the triggering link/button
- placement of popups underneath or to the right/left
- keyboard traversal
- will need accessibility review

The intention will be to replace our current use of:
dijit.Menu
dijit.MenuItem
dijit.form.DropDown
dijit.PopupMenuitem
dijit.MenuSeparator

and our extensions
orion.UserMenu
orion.UserMenuDropDown
Comment 1 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-11-20 14:34:30 EST 
Fixed in several sequential commits, the last of which is 
http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=0ae0ff25f636dee4e5985dd9ee61def4b03877fa

This involved:
- implementing the dropdown
- using the dropdown in command framework
- updating user menu to use technique
- updating all clients who create dijit.Menu to use this technique
- command test suites are updated

There are still some oddities in IE10 but not serious.
Let's open bugs on defects as we find them.
