Bug 75357 – [GTK] Context menu is hidden right after showing it when first menu item is not disabled

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

It can be reproduced by right clicking on a link, the popup menu is deactivated right after showing it unless mouse button is not released. The problem is that we are passing GDK_CURRENT_TIME (which is 0) to gtk_popup_menu, because the eventas are async and gtk_get_current_event will be NULL when calling gtk_menu_popup. GtkMenu has a timeout to decide whether the press-release was fast enough and ignore the button release event in that case. That way, a normal right click shows the menu while a long press hides the menuwhen the button is released. So, we need to know the real time when the right button was pressed and pass it to gtk_popup_menu.

Ah!, and the reason why it works when the first item is not disabled is because when the timeout is passed, the button release event is also ignored if the first menu item (that receives the release event) is not sentitive.

If you leave a comment here, I think it should be a full  sentence here. "Called by WebPopupMenuProxy::Client." for instance.

It's an existing comment, just copied, see:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.h#L600

And it means that those methods are the implementation of the WebPopupMenuProxy::Client virtual methods.
