[Gambas-user] Popup menus not popping

[Bill Richman]

Of the three you listed, I use gb.gui only.  If I should be using 
something else, I'd be glad to try it.  I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 
("Intrepid") with Gnome 2.24.1 desktop.  Interestingly, when I try to 
build a simple project to show the menu problem, the menus work 
(naturally... X-/) but they only remain visible as long as you've got 
the right mouse-button down.  Before I did brain-surgery on Gambas, my 
project used to have a hidden menu which would be activated by the 
iconview1_mouse.down() /mouse.right combination and it would _stay_ 
visible until you made a selection.  In the attached demonstration 
project, the menu appears when you right-click on the iconview, but it 
vanishes if you release the right button.  Also, if you watch the 
console, the call to "hiddenmenu.popup" returns instantly, even if you 
keep the right button down.  Is this the intended behavior?  I'm 
confused.  (Big surprise there, I know...)
