dropDownMenu: problem on migration from 3.1.6 to 3.2.2
Hi!
I'm using Richfaces 3.1.6 and JSF 1.2_09b2.
Now I need to migrate to 3.2.2 for using new functionalities and fixes of table scrolling.
However I have migration problems on the rich:dropDownMenu component.
Looking at the migration guide, I found only wrong behaviours concerning the use of JSF 1.2_08.
http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossrichfaces/freezone/docs/migrationguide/en/html_single/index.html#menuJSF
However I use version 1.2_09b2. So those shouldn't affect me (I hope).
What I have to do with dropDownMenu is to show the list of supported languages and let the user choose the preferred language.
The list is implemented as a dropDownMenu showing the flag as icon (in the example below I've put a text label in place of the flag image) and the extended language name as label. When the user choose the language, it appears on top of the dropDownMenu and disappears from the languages proposed in the dropDownMenu.
For instance:
it |--------------------| | de | Deutsch | | en | English | | es | Espaniol | | fr | Francaise | |--------------------|
The current user choice is for language "Italian". If the user select language "English", the above becomes:
en |--------------------| | de | Deutsch | | es | Espaniol | | fr | Francaise | | it | Italian | |--------------------|
Unfortunately with RIchfaces 3.2.2 I get this:
Before selection:
it |-----------------------| | de | deDeutsch | | en | enEnglish | | es | esEspaniol | | fr | frFrancaise | |-----------------------|
After selection (of "English"):
en |-----------------------| | de | deDeutsch | | en | enEnglish | | es | esEspaniol | | fr | frFrancaise | |-----------------------|
