[Bug 485436] Re: Form views don't always show scrollbars in modal dialogs

 

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion! However this is unfortunately out of the
scope of the current OpenERP release, so we cannot implement it. Let's
close this bug for now, for the sake of clarity in Launchpad, it can
always be reopened later when we consider new features for future
roadmaps.

Thank you for your understanding!

Status in OpenObject GTK Client: Won't Fix

Bug description:
As of v5.0.6 of the GTK client, given a form that is taller that the computer screen that's opened in a modal dialogs (i.e. opened from another form, with Ok and Cancel buttons), sometimes it will show the vertical scrollbar and sometimes not, depending on the combination of forms.

For example, let's suppose three custom forms A, B and C. If A gets opened in a modal dialog from B, it might show the vertical scroll bar, but may not show it when opened from C. In this case, the dialog gets taller than the screen and the user cannot access all widgets in the dialog (including the Ok and Cancel buttons). This behaviour seems to be the same with all custom forms and seems not to follow any pattern as of when it does or doesn't show the scroll bar (e.g. A opened from B might show the scrollbar if B was modal and not if B wasn't or vice-versa; or A opened from B might show the scrollbar when B is opened from C but not when B is opened from D).

Enclosing the whole forms in a <group>...</group> tag doesn't help overall, although it changes for some combinations of forms when the scrollbar does or doesn't appear.
