[fltk.bugs] [MOD] STR #2770: menubar menus have problems near screen edges

If I position the test/menubar application such that the menubar is at the bottom of my screen, most of the menus open "upwards" so that the menus can be seen. But not the 'huge' menu (which should); it opens downwards instead of upwards. B. If I position the menubar app such that e.g. the 'international' menubar item straddles the edge, and then I click on it, the menu opens way off the left edge of the application (off the menubar's left edge) instead of off the International submenu's left edge. There may be other problems too.. I happened to notice those two while answer a question on fltk.general. My tests were on centos 5.5 linux with 1.3.x current, but I imagine the issue may be across other platforms as well.

[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2770 Version: 1.3-current I believe the behavior of the "Huge" menu is correct: this menu is so big that it can't be displayed entirely upwards, so it opens downwards, as a usual menu does.

[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2770 Version: 1.3-current For the "International" menu issue: I believe the solution would be to change line 357 of src/Fl_Menu.cxx from if (X < scr_x) X = scr_x; if (X > scr_x+scr_w-W) X = right_edge-W; //X= scr_x+scr_w-W; to if (X < scr_x) X = scr_x; if (X > scr_x+scr_w-W) X = scr_x+scr_w-W; Thus amounts to undo a change done by Matt at r.6490 and for which the commit text gives no clue. @Matt: any opinion about why this change was done in the first place?

My thinking is that the 'Huge' behaves inconsistently compared to the logic of the other menus. It seems the menus want to open in such a way that they show as much of themselves as possible to the user; if a menu would open off the bottom edge of the screen, it tries to open upwards instead, to show as much of the menu as possible. In the case of huge, it seems to behave in a way where it tries to do this, but sees the menu would still clip off the bottom even if it filled the screen, and so decides to do nothing at all. But perhaps instead of doing nothing, it could open such that the menu is positioned with the top item at the top edge of the screen, so as to show as much of the menu as possible (and let it clip off the bottom) In my test, with the menubar at the bottom of the screen, it opens showing only 1/2 of the first item and that's it.. the entire rest of the menu is completely off screen. Perhaps the current behavior is better in some way though, and perhaps I'm not seeing it, but can't think why that could be.

[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2770 Version: 1.3-current I would think that opening the 'huge' menu with its top edge at the window's top would be bad because it would hide the menu title (huge). I would also think that showing only the end of the menu above the menu bar would be bad. Thus, I like the way the 'huge' menu behaves.

I think what I've seen the other menus do is open the menu either to the left or right of the parent to avoid blocking it. I notice that when I scroll through "Huge" to view it even in a "normal" app window position, the menu blocks its parent.. something it should perhaps avoid if it can with the above behavior. I guess leaving it is OK; it's the 'B' behavior I was more concerned about, and looks like you might have a fix for that.
