Bug 17845 – [GTK] combo box menu displayed in the wrong position

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Marco Barisione]

The popup menu used for combo boxes is displayed under the widget, but it should be displayed with the active item over it.

So, I tried this patch.

Good idea, but the behaviour is a bit off in some cases. Trying the first few menu lists at:

.. half the menu is unpainted (ie. gray with no decorations)

If you can't reproduce this issue, let me know and I'll describe the symptoms in more detail.

I'm curious, are you using the same technique used within GTK+ internally to achieve this effect?

Alp, 

Very funny: I did the same test on that patch!  It happens that Gtk+ behaves that way: it leaves half the menu unpainted if the first element is selected when drawing the menu.

I based my Gtk+ observations on the gnome-language-selector using a faily small (800x600) resolution.  Try for yourself :)

In my opinion, this patch is behaving correctly.
