Re: gtk_menu_popup problem

[markku vire iki fi]

Hi,

Your question belongs to gtk-app-devel-list rather than this one, but anyway.

If you do a popup in response to an event, you have a timestamp available and
you should provide it. This is because GtkMenu tries to differentiate between
"drag-selection" and "click-selection" mode by using the timestamps. So, if it
decides to use "drag-selection", the menu will close after you raise  
the button.

So, your code could look like the following:

  gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(menu), NULL, NULL,
    NULL, NULL, event->button, event->time);

Hope this helps,
