[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (RF-8008) ContextMenu: Hide the menu when the user clicks somewhere else on the page

ContextMenu: Hide the menu when the user clicks somewhere else on the page -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-8008 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8008 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Components: component-menu Environment: tested using firefox3.5 on osx and internet explorer 8 on winxp Reporter: Peter Baum Priority: Minor Description of current behavior: The RichFaces ContextMenu component correctly hides the context menu after a certain hideDelay (as documented here http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/3.3.1.GA/en/tlddoc/richfaces/contextMenu....). But the menu does not hide before the delay when the user clicks somewhere else on the page. Problem: In user testing, we found that many users expect the menu to disappear when they click on an empty spot somewhere on the page. But they find this does not work as expected. Suggested improvement: Provide a way so that a context menu is automatically hidden when the user clicks somewhere else on the page (i.e. when the user clicks any html element that is not associated with the menu) [Keywords: Hide RichFaces ContextMenu onClick] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
