[Cuis] mouseButton2Up:localPosition:

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Dan,

So, where's the bug? It's in your #mouseButton2Up:localPosition: . You get
a point in local coordinates (you can check this bu just adding
'localEventPosition print'). And you ask for the menu to open there. But
the menu is not a submorph. It will be a submorph of the world. (this is
again easy to check by opening an inspector on the menu, by doing 'self
inspect').

What you want is, instead of just using 'localEventPosition' to use '(self
externalizeToWorld: localEventPosition)'. Your alternative
#xmouseButton2Activity is perfectly fine too.

Cheers,
Juan vuletich
