http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Morphic-ct.1659.mcz ==================== Summary ==================== Name: Morphic-ct.1659 Author: ct Time: 16 May 2020, 8:48:50.198708 pm UUID: 49bbe6f6-5242-1b41-9823-d21b50d6b438 Ancestors: Morphic-nice.1658 Proposal: Have windows' menu box act on mouseDown rather than on mouseUp like the other boxes. This saves you another click and is more consistent to the usual menu flow in Squeak. =============== Diff against Morphic-nice.1658 =============== Item was changed: ----- Method: SystemWindow>>createMenuBox (in category 'initialization') ----- createMenuBox ^ (self createBox: self class menuBoxImage) actionSelector: #offerWindowMenu; + setBalloonText: 'window menu' translated; + actWhen: #buttonDown; + yourself! - setBalloonText: 'window menu' translated! |

Hi Christoph. For the user, it is just a button. All buttons should behave in a similar fashion. Best, Marcel

Hi Marcel,
isn't this situation comparable to the items in the docking bar? The centered "changeset" button looks exactly the same as the menu items on the left. But the menu items react on mouseDown, whereas the changeset button reacts on mouseUp only. I was rather thinking of this rule: All *leaf* buttons that actually raise an action should behave in the same fashion. However, the menu box is only a "branch" button, so it does not actually invoke an action. If we have it react only on mouseUp only, it costs the user an extra click to actually select an action from the menu. Can you understand me? :-)

Hi Marcel,
> > isn't this situation comparable to the items in the docking bar? > > Those look like a menu already. System window buttons do not. I think that this might be a somewhat subjective question. The changeset name in the docking bar does not really look like a menu to me. :-) To my humble self, this rule sounds pretty consistent: An action will only be invoked as soon as you release the hand above a button. Nevertheless, some items are displayed directly whereas others are organized within a menu structure. In every case, I would like it to get rid of the redundant click for choosing a menu item. I have tested this feature for the last 10 months in my image and found it very convenient. :-) Best, Christoph ----- Carpe Squeak! -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-Dev-f45488.html
