Bug when window is not very tall (menu system)

Bug when window is not very tall (menu system).
Menu that draws across bottom of screen somehow seems to error or disappear rather than staying open. I think it some cases it will invoke some command from the list before closing (but this needs more testing).

Not a huge issue for most users ... I'm sure. But you just never know.

If a video show this issue is needed ... I would provide.

Micheus ... could you confirm this as a real bug ?

As you know ... some of my menus are TALL with many items. But this is not the point ... even with a modest menu ... if someone sized the window to not be tall ... then the official wings3d menu will be "relatively tall".

And it gets worse ... under such conditions the first item in menu will automatically fire off.

And it gets worse ... if the menu item that fires is time intensive ... long run times ... there is zero way to interrupt.

ggaliens, I'm not sure I can reproduce it here.
I made my windows very short window and I didn't get any problem with menus - context menu or main menu.
Maybe I'm doing the wrong test.

It looks like you did the right test Micheus. You have short windows.

It seemed like maybe on my machine ... the placement of the "MORE" menu item
may not have worked correctly. I'll need to try to establish a bit more of a proper smoking gun ...
here ... maybe even backing off an using latest Wings3D official.

I'm still using 1.5.3 ESDL versions and also with some of my patches. So perhaps wxWidgets makes it all better ? Hard to say without controlled testing. I'm excited to try 2.0 version. Just have not had time yet.

That is the old ESDL version..

Guys ... under wxWidgets ... is the "More..." menu thing from ages gone by still supposed to work (ideally) ?

Does it work under wxWidgets ... for me ... I have not seen it in ages.

You know ... for the long menus ?

No I removed it, to long menus are bad user interface anyway.

Then why do they still exists for SOME of the menus ? I have seen recently. When did you get rid of them ?

Oh ... they exist (triangles) in menubar wxWidgets menus by default ... or did ... but not the pop-up (context) menus. That's what I have seen very recently.
