In thread Improvement suggestion: Positioning of SelectItem / ComboBoxItem dropdown we were told back in 2012-09 that this issue was fixed. I'd like to present a test case that suggest this not be true for 3.1p v8.3p_2013-03-06/LGPL.
If you open the SelectItem pick list it is positioned above the item. However, for the ComboBoxItem it covers the item (comboboxitem.png).
Similar behavior can be seen in the showcase (comboboxitems-showcase.png). There, also the behavior of the SelectItem pick list is questionable for small windows (selectitem-showcase.png). Rather than shrinking the pick list height to the view port height it disappears at the bottom.
Code:
public class SmartGwt implements EntryPoint {
public void onModuleLoad() {
VLayout layout = new VLayout();
layout.setAlign(VerticalAlignment.BOTTOM);
layout.setHeight100();
String[] values = new String[]{"Lebowski ipsum dude, please!", "Is this your homework, Larry?",
"Does this place look like I'm fucking married?", "This Chinaman who peed on my rug",
"Another Caucasian, Gary.", "Vee belief in nossing, Lebowski!"};
ComboBoxItem comboBox = new ComboBoxItem("combo", "ComboBoxItem");
comboBox.setValueMap(values);
SelectItem select = new SelectItem("select", "SelectItem");
select.setValueMap(values);
DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
form.setFields(comboBox, select);
layout.addMember(form);
layout.draw();
}
}
