Popover won't display over a container when set for interactive content

[IdealData]

Hi

 

Maybe this is a bug, or just an undocumented feature...

 

I set up a popover but it won't display the whole popover when there is a container below it that is within the space required for the popover - but only in BROWSE mode AND when the container is configured for interactive content. The popover gets a scroll bar instead.

 

When the container is configured for IMAGE content it works

 

It works in FIND mode, with either container configuration

 

It works in WebDirect, with either container configuration

 

It DOES NOT work in FMPro 13.0v3

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Anyone?

I cannot test it at the moment but I believe you.  Are you still on Snow Leopard?  It will not work with 13.  If you've upgraded then this question might best be made to FMI itself at Report An Issue:

The same goes for Webviewers. You can toggle the visibility of those items in a script that is triggered by popover opening.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting that to work elegantly.

 

What I am doing is a trigger onenter for the popover to set a global flag, have the obstruction (viewer/container) hide when that flag is active, and refresh the window to render the change.  Unfortunately this is a bit late for the popover as it's already determined it's own maximum height and would have to be closed and reopened again to size correctly.

 

Is there another approach I should be using?

Instead of using the popover button directly, use another button with a script that first hides the Web Viewer, then opens the popover.
