contextMenu hides on click?

[vanjalee]

Hi guys,

we have a pretty huge jboss seam application which runs on jboss 5.1 server. We use jsf and all the nicest features of RichFaces and a4j libraries...

I folowed the tutorial at http://showcase.richfaces.org/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=contextMenu to create the menus

in our views, but no matter what I do, the result is not the same as on the showcase.

Click outside the menu doesn't close it. If I go back to menu and just make an mouseover event, it dissapears normaly.

Is there a way to fix this behaviour?

Best Regards,

Lee

What version of RichFaces are you using? Can you post some simple working sample code?

Thank you for answering.

Since the whole thing is almost 4 years old already, and huge, I think there are still places in code which use RichFaces 3. I was googling that problem and found out that it was a well-known bug in previous versions. Is that problem already solved in 4.2.2 ?

Hier is some sample code...
