Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2001-10-10 22:44:01 EDT 
- open the nav view
	- click on the pull down menu icon (triangle pointing downward)
	==> notice menu appears
	- click on the pull down menu icon again
	==> notice menu is removed but a new one appears.

	This is not the behavior I'd expect from a windows app. If you click
	on the top left icon of a window, the system menu appears. Click on the
	icon again and the menu disappears.

	We should do the same with pull down menu tool items. (like the
	new wizard tool item).

NOTES:

		If you are modifying the triangle menu behavior, be sure to test on Motif as well.
		The current behavior is not Motif-like, either. On Motif, you have to click and hold
		to get a menu.

btw: double click on system menu button should close view (for compatibility 
reason with MS Windows). now it acts like a double click on the view title and 
maximizes the view.

This is still an issue in 3.1

ViewPane's showViewMenu(Point) method is where the SWT popup Menu becomes visible. We can use a boolean field to store whether the Menu is being shown or not to tell it to show up or not although the menu won't actually show despite the fact that the method is called "showViewMenu".

We could add a hideViewMenu method but someone somewhere will need to store a field to determine which one to show.

Paul, what are your thoughts on this?

I'm also seeing some refactoring-ish TODO tags in PartPane and ViewPane. Is Platform/UI planning to change these classes for 3.4?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
