lindsve Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Just noticed a problem with the File menu and I wanted to tip you guys on a solution. I guess some menu items in this menu are toggled visible/not visible, and this causes the menu to scroll weirdly (at least on my system) (Hit Alt-F to access the File menu with the keyboard and then press the Up arrow to go to the Exit item). This is a problem I had too in a .NET project and the solution was to dynamically add/remove the toolstripmenuitems instead of toggling the visible property true/false. Quote
Rick Brewster Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Scrolling? The File menu should never be long induce to require scrolling. I can't reproduce any problem here. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html
I Like Pi Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Confirmed. Open the file menu and navigate it with the arrow keys. Quote
Rick Brewster Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Still works fine for me ... what's the specific way you're opening it and then specific keyboard keys you're pressing?

Rick Brewster Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Actually I just had this happen in an XP virtual machine. Does not repro in Vista at all. Edit: However in Vista the "View Plugin Load Errors" is visible (on my system). Probably only happens if you dont have this menu item, regardless of the OS. I've filed a bug.

lindsve Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Nice that you were able to reproduce it. I have filed a bug for this to Microsoft too, since it's obviously a bug on the MenuStrip/ToolStripMenuItem handling. Quote
Rick Brewster Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Definitely. I'm setting a Visible property of a contained ToolStripMenuItem during the DropDownOpened event, that shouldn't cause this kind of foible.
