SmartGWT Window draw behaviour - bug?

[lars.johansson]

Noticed strange behaviour in SmartGWT Window. Seems to be bug. Anyone experienced the same?

At first, Window object is drawn ok. However, after it's moved and browser window is maximized and then restored, Window object is rendered in an unusual way. See also attached screenshot.

Bug?

Haven't posted bug report yet as it's best to have forum feedback.

Regards
Lars

Be sure your post includes:

1. the SmartGWT or SmartClient version and browser version(s) involved;

2. for a server-side problem, the complete logs generated during processing of the request;

3. for a client-side problem, the contents of the Developer Console (see FAQ for usage);

4. if there is a JavaScript error, the stack trace logged in the Developer Console (from Internet Explorer if possible); and

5. sample code.

Posts with incomplete information are much more likely to be ignored.

the problem is that you can't add a window directly to the root or the frame will separate from the window. This problem is still present in smartgwt 2.5.

You must add a canvas to the root, then add the window to the root. like this...

 root = RootPanel.get("root-tag");
 Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
 root.add(canvas);

 canvas.addChild(new Window());
