[E][Bug] Nested dropdown menus not working

Post by E.D.Revolution »

This may or may not be a priority bug. But I'm just playing around a test trial again. But now I'm using Microsoft Edge (yes, W10). Whenever I click a nested dropdown menu in the Editor, it doesn't display correctly.

For example, go to the screen editor and try to choose something on the places dropdown box or the character sprite. the menu appears then closes out, not allowing you to click on anything. Regular dropdown menus work.

I dunno if this is an Editor bug or a Microsoft Edge bug.

This works fine on Firefox.

I'm on a Mac, so I'll see if I can get Windows 10 for my Virtual Machine so I can investigate on Edge.

I'm leaning towards the latter on this, that it's an Edge issue. Yeah, I know it's working on FX and Chrome.

Just to be clear, there are two kinds of dropdown menus in the editor : the classic HTML ones for simple values (like the one for voice) and the ones with embedded preview (character profiles, sprites, music, sounds, etc.)

The issue you are mentioning affects all menus of the second kind I guess ?

Those were quite complex to implement and make an intensive use of JS event handling, so I'm not really surprised that IE would have trouble with those : IE has never been great at following the standards with event-related stuff... But anyway, I guess we should try to find out what goes wrong here - the issue being that I'm not planning to upgrade to W10 before a while so I can't really reproduce.

And I can't either. I've gotten W10 on my VM, but the Edge browser won't even work.

Good job, Microsoft. Good job.

I can confirm this bug in the Edge browser on Windows 10.
