rich:contextMenu and default showEvent

[strannik]

Hi

Can you please clarify what is the default value for showEvent attribute?

According to the docs it is oncontextmenu.

http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_X/vdldoc/rich/contextMenu.html

I see from the sources that it is mouseover(at least in 4.2.3).

public static final String DEFAULT_SHOWEVENT = "mouseover";

However I cannot assign "mouseover" as default event. If I use defaultEvent="mouseover"

or don't specify default event at all then context menu is shown after right-click.

Please advise.

RichFaces 4.2.3

I am too facing the same issue. setting showEvent="mouseover"  makes the menu appear on right click.

This was fixed in RichFaces 4.3.7, the mouseover being a default event was a bug.
