@jlegind and I discussed a better way to do autosuggest instead of the popups #359

Closed PipBrewer closed 1 year ago

Issue

There has been reports from digitizing staff that pop ups can be a bother during Digi App operations. One of the things heard is that pop up windows can be 'hiding' behind other windows or appear on other screens in a multi display setting. See comment https://github.com/NHMDenmark/Mass-Digitizer/issues/359#issuecomment-1718988258

Acceptable solution

Pop ups are always to the forward on the work display.

The issue with pop-up windows is that they can be accidentally triggered. They are then active which means any activity on the main App window is stopped. Worse yet, digitizers report that a pop-up window can appear on a different screen if two monitors are active. The accidentally triggered pop-up behavior can be fixed in the code for auto-suggest at least.

just a tip, @jlegind the pop ups pop up on main screen by default, if the app is also running of the main screen,the pop ups will always pop up on the main screen unless you bind the pop up window to the app.

I suspect that this subject would be dealt with emphatically in next user interface version of the app. Fast-API Kivy other?
