Tabbed Dock closes Popupmenu

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

i use ObjectDock 2. 0 with an Tabbeddock on the top edge of the screen. The dock is normally hided and comes out on mouseover.

Part of the dock is a tab with systray-Icons.

As you know, some of the programs in systray have a popupmenu, mostly shown on right mouse click.

But every time, when the dock hides again, any opened popupmenu is closed immediatly.

 

As long as the mousecursor is in range of the dock, the popupmenu stays, but if the mousecursor leaves the range (even if over the popupmenu), the dock hides and the popupmenu is closed.

On bigger popupmenus (like on Crystaldisk), i have no chance to choose any option out of the drawing area of the dock....

 

Can anyone reproduce it or what can i do?

 

Regards

Frank

I wasn't able to reproduce this. If you have a right-click context menu open from the system tray tab, then the tab should not hide. Does disabling "Show dock when mouse is over dock" under Settings -> Tablled Dock -> Accessibility resolve the problem?

Hello,

thanks for your answer

I have disabled the option, but without changes.

 

The Tab hides if the mouse leaves the "drawing area" of the entire dock, no matter if a contextmenu is open or not, if a contextmenu is open, it will be closed.

Only "The Bat" (Mail-Program) has a different behavior: The Dock hides and the context menu remains.
