Looks like this is an issue with all our custom address autocomplete, as the same thing happens elsewhere where it is used, e.g. default recipient entries in folder properties or templates, addressbook search entry, recipient entry for "Resend" filtering actions. The code tries to place the popup window with completion results right below the entry widget. For some reason, though, when the code responsible for this tries to get the GdkWindow of the entry widget, it seems to get GdkWindow of one of its parent layout widgets - in case of entries in compose window, that seems to be the GtkScrolledWindow inside the "Header" GtkNotebook page. That's as far as I've got. I can't figure out why this happens. An idea is to rewrite this address completion functionality to use GTK's native GtkEntryCompletion. Now fixed in git, thanks! Thank you, that is fantastic work. |
Created attachment 1968 [details] Box for autocomplete is in the wrong place On todays git of the GTK3 tree, the autocomplete dropdown is in the wrong place. I open the composer to compose a new message. In the To field, I type part of the name, then press Tab. The dropdown box with addresses from the address book is shown. It is however on top of the input field for Subject. I think it should be right below the input field for the To address. See attached screenshot. I typed 'timelo', then pressed tab. It lists my own address in the dropdown, on top of the Subject field.
