Bug: Submenus disappearing
« on: April 10, 2005, 04:50:15 AM »
Bug in
"Start avast! Antivirus" ("avast! Simple User Interface")
"Tools" menu,
"Updating" menu item :

If I try to move mouse over to the submenu, the whole menu disapears.
This is probably because of the special graphic bar in it.

OS is Windows XP SP2 Fr
avast is v4.6.623 Home

More details:

The menuitem highlight is custom and doesn't reach menu border.

The submenu is shifted down a little from the menu item.

Moving the mouse fast enough across the graphic bar catches submenu before it disapears.
It then behaves normally, graphic bar included.

Same problem with "Start scan" submenu and it's own submenus (context click when skins are active).

Windows XP themes don't change this odd behavior.

There is no problem if the submenu pops to the left.

I have no problem, no matter which side the menu pops-up, using the english version of avast and currently using Maclovers skin.

What skin are you using and have you tried a different one?

No problems here... XP Pro SP2
Maybe it's better not to call a thread by bug if it's not really one. Scares the other users and, sometimes, not that all correct since could be a problem in just one system and not in avast!  ;)

No problems at all regarding that in here... everything works perfect. What is your graphic card ? Latest drivers installed ?

What "special graphic bar" do you mean ? Can you post a screenshot ?

Tip: Try moving your mouse little bit faster into that submenu and I'm sure it won't disappear. By the way, it has nothing to do with skins. We (skin makers) can not control behaviour in context menues. It's hardcoded in avast! code or whatever else we don't have access to...

Grapic card: GeForce4 Ti 4200, Microsoft Windows driver v5.6.7.3
But graphic cards aren't in charge of managing control extent zones...

The behavior is the same in both screen shots, only example differs.

First screenshot, menu in standard interface:
Move a single pixel to the right and the menuitem unhighlights and the submenu goes away.

Second screenshot, context menu with skin:
Move a single pixel to the left and submenu item highlight disapears, but the submenu stays.
(side note: Buttons on window behind hot track mouse pointer, they shouldn't.)

Delay between move, unhighlight, and submenu disappearance can be set via TweakUI, Mouse settings (I set it real fast).
Move the mouse faster than that, and no problem.
Move it slower, and presto !

My guess is that there is a gap between menu and submenu control extent zone, although the graphical extent touches.


PS: I used Paint Shop Pro v8 for screenshots, and it happens to have the exact same menu style, but when doing as described in shot#1 the highlight & submenu stay.

So, the problems were on TweakUI settings and not in avast?

Is an avast bug

I got the feeling that you don't really read messages, or maybe you don't understand english very well ? :(

There is nothing wrong with TweakUI and it's settings here, it just makes the bug easier to see.
Simply moving the mouse slower is enough to reveal it.

95% chance this is a bug in avast or some library it uses.
Is it planned to be fixed ?

They are not. But those drivers can do a lot to screw things up... of course, if not installed properly, and not proper drivers.

Yes there is a gap, and it's well known issue to Alwil guys. So many people reported that before you, as well as that icon-state-reading in the background. Vlk already mentioned that in some of his previous posts... but that has nothing to do with skins as I stated before. Ask Vlk or anyone from Alwil and you'll see that it's hardcoded into avast! itself. We can not control that, especially 'cause we don't even see those menus when making skin. As you can see, those menus are not skinned at all. Whatever other skin you try, you'll notice that menus stays the same. No change at all... even colors are the same...
