The Windows box is running XP. The FLTK app is brought up from an xterm which
is using the Exceed (9.0.0.32) universe. The Unix OS is 2.6.10-1.yhpc.1smp (on
PPC) or HP-UX 11.11 (on HP). Does the same thing from either.
I wondered if this, from Fl_Menu.cxx, was relevant:
case FL_RELEASE:
// Mouse must either be held down/dragged some, or this must be
// the second click (not the one that popped up the menu):
if (!Fl::event_is_click() || pp.state == PUSH_STATE ||
pp.menubar && pp.current_item && !pp.current_item->submenu() // button
) {
#if 0 // makes the check/radio items leave the menu up
const Fl_Menu_Item* m = pp.current_item;
if (m && button && (m->flags & (FL_MENU_TOGGLE|FL_MENU_RADIO))) {
((Fl_Menu_*)button)->picked(m);
pp.p[pp.menu_number]->redraw();
} else
#endif
// do nothing if they try to pick inactive items
if (!pp.current_item || pp.current_item->activevisible())
pp.state = DONE_STATE;
}
Perhaps it's FLTK version-specific? We're at 1.1.9 here.
