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)
