Summary

0002619: Win32 tray icon context menu

Description

The context menu of the tray icon on Win32 has a couple usability issues.

1) When first clicked, all the menu items are scrolled off screen (see attached screenshot). I have to hold the mouse over the scroll arrow to get them on screen. Depending on exactly where the mouse is held, this can take up to two seconds.

2) There is no way to dismiss the context menu without clicking a menu item. So if I accidentally click on the wrong tray icon, I cannot just dismiss the context menu like a normal menu by clicking on some other window. There is then only one menu item I can click that won't actively do something to the music or to gmpc, namely the playlist item, and then I still must get gmpc out of the way again to go back to whatever I was doing.

#1 for sure only happens to me on Win32 versions of gmpc, not on Linux ones. Not sure if #2 is Win32 only or not (not near a linux box right now).

Notes
(0004680) qball (administrator) 2009-10-27 18:46	This is a GTK bug, not a gmpc bug.

(0005658) churten (reporter) 2010-05-13 12:21	Apparently, while it is indeed a GTK bug, there is a workaround: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1138891/gtk-statusicon-and-gtk-menu-on-windows [^]
