Hi Kevin, Yes, this is actually a pre-review mail to know if I am on the right path.
Exposing these properties from ContextMenu can confuse users because the control has overloaded show() method. The second show() method doesn't use any of these properties and instead use screenX and screenY to place the ContextMenu. Given the circumstances, using Helper class seems the best solution to me. If someone has a better alternate solution, I am all ears. -- Abhinay ________________________________ From: Kevin Rushforth <kevin.rushfo...@oracle.com> Sent: Friday, February 7, 2020 10:14 PM To: Abhinay Agarwal <abhinay_agar...@live.com>; openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net <openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net> Subject: Re: RFR: 8228363 Fix shifts for ContextMenu shown on TOP/LEFT side I presume this is a "pre" review before sending out an actual review (which the Skara tooling will do automatically when you generate a pull request)... My concern with this approach is that it leaks what should be an implementation detail into a visible property of the control (and really, using the properties map in this manner is a bit of a workaround). An alternative would be to use package scope methods and a Helper class, which is done in many other places. Worth noting is that if this is information that a custom skin would also need, then some sort of way to make this visible to the Skin will eventually be needed. -- Kevin On 2/7/2020 8:33 AM, Abhinay Agarwal wrote: > The issue is caused because of a fix which was pushed as a part of > https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8159044 > > The root cause of the issue is that ContextMenuSkin#performPopupShifts > doesn't consider the cases where shiftX / shiftY can be negative, just as in > case of the example provided by Robert in 8228363.
