#1890 Godley Table dropdown not working

[Steve Keen]

The dropdown "wedge" isn't working in Edit mode--I'm guessing because the text edit window takes precedence over the dropdown. At a guess, reversing the precedence would fix the bug.

That's because the triangle wedges are vestigial items left over from
when the code supported the Godley popup window. Since Niel's refactor
of the Godley popup, they're not needed.

It is not feasible to have the canvas drive menus. The wedges should
be removed from the edit mode tables.

So you have to type stock names in then? No assistance from Ravel in knowing what they are?

On the canvas at any rate - obviously there is that support in the
Godley popup.

Note there may be a solution of adding some support in the context
menu. A bit of logic to code in Typescript, but might be a good job to
give Github copilot.

That's a good thought. Users are used to the right-click menu of course, so adding one for when a user hovers over the stock name cell makes perfect sense. Ditto for flows.

Here's a sample video for what I've like to make smoother still for future videos.:

Views on YouTube are really taking off now, which is perfect timing for the seed round.

OK - I gave this task to Github Copilot - it didn't do too bad a job, maybe about a 90% job, which I fixed up, then promptly refined with testing.

Only question is whether the location of "Import stock variables" in the context menu is optimal.
