Broken menu navigation #3

Closed OscarL closed 10 months ago

OscarL commented 1 year ago

It seems my fix for #1 has broken menus navigation :-(

When opening the "top menu" of an app by "clicking" on it (using KeyCursor, of course), the menu shows up, but immediately disappears after "moving the pointer" (by using the arrow keys).

On the other hand, after invoking "context/popup" menus (e.g.: Tracker's drill-down) via "right click" (SHIFT+Space with KeyCursor) it is possible to to navigate those with no issues.

I guess I'll need a test-app to log what a regular mouse does, and compare that to what KeyCursor is doing.

In the meantime... I'll put on hold the planed update to the HaikuPorts recipe for KeyCursor :-(

Note to self: these lines (224-227) are the ones that should be restored to fix menu navigation (at the cost of "double-clicking"/"double-spacing" not working on Tracker).

@OscarL , how do you feel about reverting the above mentioned lines and do a release? It's only the double-click in Tracker, right? At least a double-space for a double-click seems to work in e.g. Genio. In Tracker, it's OK to select with space and then open with RETURN, I guess.

Maybe @jscipione has an idea what's going on here. Him being a Tracker and BMenu specialist... :)

@humdingerb: I think those lines should be reverted, yes.

I remember that I had tried that "fix" before, reverted it after finding the menu-navigation issue... just to rediscover that "fix" a few months later, when I already had forgotten its side-effects :-/

Your findings match mine... it seems is only on Tracker where the double-click doesn't registers (I do remember it working just fine in BeOS... version 1.1 should be still compilable there, if testing is needed).

A new release with your work in (even with this inconvenience in Tracker), sounds great to me!

Alright. I reverted that part and will upload the catkeys to Polyglot for translation. Then do a release in a week or so. If a fix for #1 presents itself until then, fine. But Iwouldn't know where to look... :)
