popup 2.1.2 bug ? Thread last updated on 2003-11-12 02:41:06

Posted by member 80008 on 2003-11-10 01:44:01

Does anybody else see this:

When popup (2.1.2) is opened by rightclick at the lower screen portion so that the mouse pointer is shifted to the area of clickable entrys, the popup-opening rightclick is interpreted as a rightclick on the entry. This means every time I open the popup in this region, I get the context menue of some folder or entry. I have a workaround for this, but it is not nice:

*Script bang !popit
*Script exec !varset posx %[mousex]
*Script exec !varset posy %[mousey]
*Script exec !varadd posx "+3"
*Script exec |popupfirst x=%[posx] y=%[posy]
*Script ~bang


Maybe popup is just faster than a click ;)

Corrected 11.11,
sorry R.

1. Why do you still use an older popup release ?

2. If popup appear on RightButtonDown (and not on RightButtonUp); I guess it's a normal reaction.

3. I don't know if '!varadd x "+3"' works !

1. Hm, lscp gives 1.16 for popup, but seems to be 2.1.2 (latest I know), sorry for that.

2.Popup appears and context menu is rised simultanously, thats the problem.

3. Of course it works ("3" is correct too, but I like to make it clear that "-3" doesn't work), its up and running.

1. lscp ? You're still under Indiestep ?

2. I guess you didn't understood me: are you using jdesk ?
If yes, take a look at your "*jdeskmbuttonx" lines to make sure you're not fireing !popup on ButtonDown instead of ButtonUp.

1. Not by default, but for testing.

2. Yes, jdesk. Thats a "partial" solution, because it does not prevent the folders from popping up unwanted under the cursor (I don't like popuponclick-folders).

I guess there's nothing to do. It's not a bug. Just a normal reaction

I,d say it is a small design problem. Popup should appear close to the cursor but not directly under it.
B.t.w., I dont know why, but buttonup-commands are much slower responding in my config compared with buttondown.

Wish granted.

This is because jdesk support double clicks; then it waits a little before fireing the buttonup action. You could disable this by adding:
jdeskdisabledoubleclick
