timeline context menu does not dismiss if clicking on other parts of the UI

Open Pomax opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

This is on Windows 10 x64, Shotcut version 22.04.25:

When right-clicking on the playlist panel, which triggers a context menu, and then clicking anywhere else on the UI, the context menu gets dismissed. However, when right-clicking on the timeline (either background or a track), and then clicking elsewhere on the UI, the context menu stays open rather than getting dismissed.

This is a technology limitation with our usage of Qt Quick in some panels such as timeline. And this is why a Cancel menu item was added. There might be some workaround or fix, but I have not figured it out.

I see, that sounds inconvenient. Hopefully someone knows how to send a global Qt signal to close any outstanding context menus and can help getting that put in.

This was fixed in version 22.09 when we added action search and editable keyboard shortcuts.
