Wrong position of toolbar panels for GWT Popups in Firefox

[Ashish Kumar Sinha <aksinha.iit@…>]

I am using FCKEditor with Google Web Toolkit (GWT). And the floating panels which are popped up if we click on tool bars like Styles or Font etc are being wrongly positioned only if the editor is being used inside a Popup panel or a Dialog box. The GWT Dialogbox/Popup panels also contain scroll bars.

Otherwise it behaves fine, I mean if it is used inside normal browser window, positions of those panels are correct.

FCKEditor : 2.3.2

Build : 1082

GWT Version : 1.1.2

Browser : Firefox/2.0.0.2

OS : Windows XP

Do you have the same results with FCKeditor 2.4 or even the Nightly Build?

Do you think you can attach a zip with GWT and a test case page so we can easily reproduce the problem here (there is no need to include FCKeditor on it, just all the rest)?

fckpanel.js from FCKEditor 2.3.2. It contains the modifications.

FCKPanel function from fckpanel.js (v 2.3.2) : Shows the changes that I have made

I have not checked it especially with 2.4 but certainly I have found the same behavior with 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3. But I believe the problem will be with 2.4 as well.

I understand that providing the development team with a zip archive would help a lot but to avail that I will have to go for a parallel implementation in a separate project which may take time.

However, for now I can help like this. I could find a solution to the problem with minor changes in the source code. It has not fixed the problem completely but may explain the nature of the problem.

1. For gecko browsers, I tried a way so that all position calculations are done with respect to the editor itself. So, I inserted an if statement in the function FCKPanel.js (Please see the attached file which I have taken from v2.3.2). It has fixed the problem for floating panels being popped up through toolbars but the context menu over the editing area is still mis-positioned.

2. I also increased the default height of the editor to '250' from '200' (in fckeditor.js)

3. In case, I disable the context menu pop up event from function FCK.InitializeBehaviors then I get the default context menu of the browser, which anyway takes care of the options 'Cut', 'Copy' and 'Paste'.

I believe the patch written for #1514 also fixes this ticket. I'm still reading the GWT docs to see how I can create a test case for this.

[Martin Kou]

I've created a pre-built, very simple test case. It seems to work ok with the trunk code.

[Martin Kou]

Test case built with Google Web Toolkit 1.4.61 for Mac OS X Leopard.

[Martin Kou]

The uploaded test case file is an Eclipse project directory that can be imported into Eclipse.

The toolbar panels seem to work ok in my test case, and the bug reporter hasn't made any replies yet, so I'm closing this ticket.
