Description

Affected: Wt 4.14.1 & 4.14.0 (works up to 4.13.4)

The popup menu cannot be seen when WPopupMenu::popup(const WMouseEvent&) is invoked from e.g. WText.mouseWentUp.

(And WPopupMenu::popup(WWidget*) pops it up at the very bottom - not adjacent to the widget. Workaround: Wrap all in "WVBoxLayout" with stretch.)

STR:

  • run the attached main.cpp
  • click the right WText labeled "popup(const WMouseEvent&)"

I can confirm it!
I updated WT to the newest version 4.14.1 and WPopupMenu is broken :(

For WPopupMenu::popup(WWidget*), it is normal that it is placed at the end of the page. Even if it is not clearly visible in your example, the WText is stretched by the layout to the end of the page (You can see it by adding a background color to your WText ). The WPopupMenu just position itself at the end of the WText. The reason it was being placed above in 4.13.4 was due to what Wt did when giving up on finding a suitable place for the popup. Since we now delegate the positioning to the browser, that behavior changed.
