Annoying handling of long QPopupMenus from QMenuBar
Message 1 in thread
In Qt-3.3.4 if a menu is very long it will be wrapped so the QPopupMenu
will fit on the screen, but if the dialog is activated from a QMenuBar
the menu will open under the mouse pointer, which means that users using
a single click to see the menu will inadvertently activate an item in
the menu. I've seen that in Windows the menu is often moved a bit to the
right in this instance to avoid this problem. Alternatively the menu
could be made a little smaller, so more items would wrap to the next
column, so the menu could popup south of the mouse pointer.
Is there a fix for this? We plan to move our applications to 4.x soon,
so I'd be happy if it works better in a newer version of Qt.
Regards,
Thomas
