With a long menu (and a long submenu), the bottom portion of the submenu is not always visible on the screen. For example, if the submenu is located near the bottom of the menu, opening it will cause the menu to slide to the top of the screen (if the "always pop up menus on screen" option is set"), and the submenu will open with it's top aligned directly beside it's entry in the first menu -- which is near the middle of the screen. In other words, the submenu only has about half the screen's height to work with.
I guess the easiest solution would be to fix the submenu's height to the actual visible height that remains available to it. Another solution would be to allow the menu to slide "above" the top of the screen, to allow the submenu to fill the entire height. Also, on a related note, a submenu within a submenu is able to slide the original menu above the top of the screen, but when one closes the submenus, the menu doesn't automatically slide back down and become visible until a submenu is opened -- ie. the redisplay of the menu should be triggered after submenus are closed (or, if there's a dirty-flag, if the menu has been moved, and a submenu closed.) On a less related note, while we're fixing up the menus :P, what are your thoughts on word-navigation within menus? Ie. currently the menus can only be navigated by the up/down arrow keys -- but wouldn't it be nice if we could type substrings which automatically highlight all the matching menu labels (maybe within submenus too?), and if there are multiple matches, pressing tab could alternate between them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
