Problem with popup menus in Windows

[phaworth]

Posted this on the email lists but no resolution so far so hoping someone on this forum may be able to help.

I'm seeing some strange behavior with popup menus on Windows. The same menus work perfectly on OS X.

I have a customer who has reported that after right clicking on a scrolling list field to bring up a popup menu, he is unable to select any of the items on it nor get rid of the popup.

I have not seen quite that behavior but if I right click, then select a menu item that has submenu items attached to it, I cannot get out of the submenus unless I select one, nor can I get out of the popup itself.

I could not find a bug report on the first problem but I found bug# 9718 on the second issue, recognised as a bug on 9/12/2011 but apparently still not fixed. Surely this is a serious enough problem to warrant being fixed in less than a year!

If anyone else has come across these issues and has any sort of workaround, I;d be grateful to hear it.

Thanks,

Pete
