#18239 new defect

[regression] Long TooltipDialogs get container scroll

Description

#10631 added scrollbars for menus by making changes to dijit/popup. This has the side-effect of also incorrectly adding them to TooltipDialog? in a way where it causes the wrapper of the dialog to scroll, instead of the inner content of the dialog. Prior to #10631, a too-long TooltipDialog? would simply cause the page itself to scroll.

Test case, with workaround/“fix”: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>Test</title>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="dijit/themes/claro/claro.css">
	</head>
	<body class="claro">
		<script>var dojoConfig = { async: true };</script>
		<script src="dojo/dojo.js"></script>
		<script>
require(['dijit/form/DropDownButton', 'dijit/TooltipDialog'], function (DropDownButton, TooltipDialog) {
	var dropDown = new TooltipDialog({
		content: new Array(100).join('test<br>')
	});

	var button = new DropDownButton({
		label: 'hey',
		dropDown: dropDown,
		// workaround to restore pre-1.9 behaviour
		maxHeight: Infinity
	});
	button.placeAt(document.body);
	button.startup();
});
		</script>
	</body>
</html>

Interesting.

That change in behavior is actually an improvement when the page itself can't be scrolled (like ​http://downloads.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.10.0/dojo-release-1.10.0/dijit/themes/themeTester.html), but it would be better if the TooltipDialog? got an inner scrollbar (just for the content), rather than scrolling the TooltipDialog? itself.

This makes me regret [31001]. I don't remember why I didn't just encourage popups to have a containerNode <div> and then have dijit/popup set a height/width on that. Perhaps just because of the problem with menus where you would have a <div> enclosing a <table> and the <table> doesn't expand to the full width of the <div>.

PS: As [31001] mentions, the hard part is scrollbars for menus, because they are <table>s.

Milestone: 1.13 → 1.15

Ticket planning... move current 1.13 tickets out to 1.15 to make it easier to move tickets into the 1.13 milestone.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
