Submenu bug on Windows 2000
Message 1 in thread
Has anyone run into the following problem?
From our main menu, a submenu slides out from a particular selection. For
example, choosing File->Print would pop up a submenu that allows the user to
print to the printer or to a file (File->Print->Submenu). Typically, the
user would place the cursor on Print and the submenu will pop up/slide out
immediately. On Windows 2000, there is a slight delay before the submenu
shows. We have found (on Windows 2000) that if you click on Print (during
that slight delay) before the Submenu slides out the submenu will not slide
out at all. You must close the program and restart it to have access to the
submenu. This does not occur on WinNT. Hope this all makes sense. Any
thoughts?

I notice with my qt app that if I click while to submenu is showing up, that
the submenu dissapears and then comes up really quick. Its like it is going
through some phase of showing up really slow, it is interrupted so it stops
(dissapears) and then it comes up really quick. On my Win 2000, it doesn't
slide out, it fades in.
So, I don't have the problem you outlined.

Ahh, forgot to say. The problem is with the animation effects, both
fade-in and slide-in. If you turn off the animation effects from
Windows' Display Properties dialog (right click on the desktop, hit
Properties) then you won't have the problem with menus that fail to
appear.

It's a bug I reported some time ago and is fixed in the 3.0.2 release,
along with a whole host of other fixes. Shame the Trolls couldn't fix
up all the problems I reported...
