Context Menu not appearing at correct location.

Reply Quote

The problem is occuring when my CuteEditor is placed in a page element with a fixed height and an overflow:scroll bar style. When you scroll down within this page element to the cute editor and right click, the Menu appears at an absolute location within the page that does not account for the scrolling, resulting in my menu appearing FAR below where I clicked.

Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround for it? Let me know if I need to clarify my explanation of the problem.

Thank you.

MatthewBe,

Are you using the version 6.0?

If so, can you create a simple example showing the problems and send it to me?

Here is an example of what I am talking about.

<html>
<body>
  <div>Top</div>
  <div style="height:200px; overflow:scroll">
   Put CuteEditor Here
  </div>
  <div>Bottom</div>
</body>
</html>

If you put a CE in the middle div tag, it will force a scroll bar in that div. If your scroll is at the top and you right click, all is good. If you scroll to the bottom and right click, you will see the menu displaced from your pointer. If you had stuff above the CuteEditor inside the same DIV that it is in, this displacemenet between pointer and menu becomes extreme.

It fails for me in your example. I have tried it in IE7 and Firefox and the same thing occurs in both. Below is an screenshot illustrating the problem. My mouse (which is not shown) was in the middle of the CE. When I right clicked, the menu appeared far below my mouse. You have to scroll down inside the window that includes CE, and then right click inside the CE text area. To clarify, you are following these steps and not experiencing the problem?

Can anyone else confirm whether they are or are not experiencing the problem I have described on the example Adam has posted?

Hi MatthewBe,

I can replicate it using IE7. The trick to replication is - you must not be at the top of the scrollable area for it to happen.

This issue seems to be consistent in all "scrollable DIV." Even the dropdowns from the toolbars incorrectly position when scrollable DIV is not at its original position.

Here're some screenshots related to the issue:

The first image below shows the normal case: We're at the top of the scrollable area (See red circle), and context menu shows up at the correct position as expected.

The second image is where the defect is: When the scrollable area is not at the TOP position (See the red circle), the context menu will show up at some random location. The red cross indicated where I clicked. As you can see, the context menu is completely off.
