Description Billy Biggs 2004-08-17 21:45:24 UTC 
GTK+-2.4.4

1. Open the 'menus' example in gtk-demo
2. Move the window to the bottom of the screen such that just the
   menu button is visible
3. Click the button, observe that the menu contents are scrolled off
   the screen, yet there is plenty of room in the created window.
   Screenshot attached.

This seems similar (but easier to reproduce) than bug 144213, and the same as
the example mentioned in bug 119821 (although it may have been posted to the
wrong bug report).

I cannot reproduce this with GTK+-2.2.1.

Screenshot

The top shows the bottom of the screen before opening the menu, the bottom
shows the result of clicking on the menu.  Hovering over the down arrow pushes
the rest of the contents of the menu up to fill in the empty space.
Comment 2 Vincent Noel 2004-08-17 22:06:04 UTC 
As mentioned in bug 119821, this is the intended behavior for option menus, such
as the one you show in your screenshot. Bug 144213 is about a regular menu,
which should not get scrolled.
Comment 3 Billy Biggs 2004-08-17 22:28:56 UTC 
Can you explain further the intended behaviour more for option menus?  It is not
clear to me what it is supposed to achieve, or what the use case is.
Comment 4 Vincent Noel 2004-08-18 14:37:26 UTC 
In fact this behavior intends to keep the active selection of the menu under the
mouse... So if you click on the option menu and click on it right again, the
same option will stay selected.
However, I agree with you : it looks weird, and I'm not sure we gain that much
by doing that ;)
