Sub menu in StartMenu disappearing when you have items in the right column

[Tim Weckx]

I'm seeing some strange behaviour when you put items in the right column of the start menu and you have childitems in the left column.

The popup for the childitems of the left always sits at the top and if you're left column item is further down to the bottom, there is a disconnect between the two of them. Trying to move the mouse from the left column item to it's child items popup, closes the popup before you get there. When there are no items in the right column, the popup stays, but when you have items in the right column, they receive the focus, and it closes the popup.

To reproduce:

Create a new RadRibbonForm
Add 4 items to the StartMenuItems
Add 1 subitem to the last item of the StartMenuItems
Add 4 items to the StartMenuRightColumnItems

Now, when you hover over the last StartMenu item, you can't get to the child item.

Anybody?

As a workaround, I'm adding invisible items to the submenu so it expands far enough down.

Hello Tim Weckx,

Thank you for the question.

The described behavior is an issue of Q3 2009 SP1, which has been addressed in Q1 2010, so I would suggest that you update your RadControls for WinForms to the latest version.

If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact me.

Best wishes,

Nikolay,

Thanks for your replay. I am using the 2009 version, so I'll update to the 2010 Q1 build.
