#1241 [4.0.2] Charts: Menu vanishes to fast

[Joachim Weiß]

OK, this could be a feature request too, but I'd like to put it here, say this is a minor bug :-)

I am talking about the pop up menu in all the individuals boxes in charts.
When I move the mouse over the pedigree icon, the menu appears, but if I am a slow reader, it disappears before I finished reading (some kind of timeout).

Proposed fix: alter the show_family_box() javascript function in a way, that there is no timeout, but it stays open till the mouse is moved away (same behaviour as the menu).

I think it was ment to be that way, because there is a family-box-timeout() function associated to the mouseout-event of the pedigree icon.

If no-one has an other proposition I start looking into the code.

There is no timeout in the show_family_box()-function, but the matter is somewhat more complicated:

If I move the mouse carefully over the icon, the menu opens a few pixels next to the mouse position and stays open.
But if I'm a fast mover, then it may happen, that the mouse moves along after the mouseover-event is triggered and the mouse position is inside the menu. That triggers the mouseout-event and the timeout starts, the menu vanishes.

A Solution could be that the menu never opens atop of the icon.

For a future release I have converted the menus to use a CSS only system without any Javascript. You can see the effect here: http://www.finlayfamily.org/pgvsvn/individual.php?pid=I1&ged=presidents.ged

This should solve most of the problems.
