[not a bug] Menu isn`t drawn. NOGTK. FreeBSD/Fluxbox [message #17748]

Configuration:
FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE
Fluxbox (compiled from ports)

TheIDE compiled from one of the latest SVN versions with NOGTK flag.
Everything works fine except menus are not drawn. The menu header text is drawn, but the menu itself is completely invisible. In spite of being completely invisible, menus are responding to shortcuts and arrow keys along with Enter key. So user is able to choose and select any menu item, but it is not drawn.

Have you tried with another wm?
I can remember, there also were some issues with Fluxbox some time ago.

Yes, it`s OK with blackbox on the same system. Strange.

X11 is mess; one of problems is that more than half of its API is actually implemented in WM. Means that slight incompatibility of WM can cause some apps malfunction.

Finally I debugged deep into CtrlCore and discovered that dropdown popups and menus are drawn but they are drawn BEHIND actual active window.

I tried some dirty hack to test if it can be corrected and it worked. Partially. Dropdown menus work properly, menus are drawn properly too but disappear on mouse movement inside them.

My dirty little test patch:
CtrlCore/X11Wnd.cpp

was:

void Ctrl::PopUp(Ctrl *owner, bool savebits, bool activate, bool, bool)
{
	LLOG("POPUP: " << UPP::Name(this));
	Ctrl *q = owner ? owner->GetTopCtrl() : GetActiveCtrl();
	ignoretakefocus = true;
	Create(q, true, savebits);
	if(activate) {
		q->StartPopupGrab();
		popupgrab = true;
	}
	if(top) popup = true;
	WndShow(visible);
	
	if(activate && IsEnabled())
		SetFocus();
	if(top) top->owner = owner;
	StateH(OPEN);
}

now:

void Ctrl::PopUp(Ctrl *owner, bool savebits, bool activate, bool, bool)
{
	LLOG("POPUP: " << UPP::Name(this));
	Ctrl *q = owner ? owner->GetTopCtrl() : GetActiveCtrl();
	ignoretakefocus = true;
	Create(q, true, savebits);
	if(activate) {
		q->StartPopupGrab();
		popupgrab = true;
	}
	if(top) popup = true;
	WndShow(visible);
	
	SetWndFocus();
	XRaiseWindow(Xdisplay, top->window);

	if(activate && IsEnabled())
		SetFocus();
	if(top) top->owner = owner;
	StateH(OPEN);
}
