dropdownbutton's menu stays open

[gerhard presser]

following scenario: dropdown-button with it's dropdown being open. the dropdownbutton is part of another widget/layoutcontainer the layoutcontainer is part of e.g. a stackcontainer. somehow the selected child-pane changes and the dropdownbutton isn't visible anymore. the dropdown-menu jumps to the left-top-corner.

I tracked it down to dijit/popup._repositionAll

this code repositions popups even if their 'anchor-node' isn't visible anymore and therefore it's position is {x:0,y:0,h:0,w:0}

I suppose in this case the popup should be closed?

Yes, the popup should close when the anchor node isn't visible anymore, and AFAICT that works correctly. It's triggered by focus moving to another node.

Feel free to attach a test case, although my guess is that:

1. you will have to fix this in your application by correctly setting focus
2. the situation where "somehow the selected child-pane changes" means your application is not keyboard accessible, because focus is left on a hidden node.
