[Bug 1424588] Re: unable to center popover in caller

 

- Dialogs are definitively modal, as they interrupt the user interaction and need to be interacted upon. They can't be simply dismissed on tap. 
- Pop-overs are less modal and they can be safely ignored by tapping outside them

I believe these two components are related from a SDK perspective, but
to the user the behave and look different.

Title:
  unable to center popover in caller

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:

Bug description:
  The design for the browser app’s contextual menu requires the popover
  to be centered inside its caller (the webview). See
  https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/presentation/d/1woHjO8K4iqyVZZlfQ4BXL0DhYbwkEmZ7wvcUhYzHDRk/edit#slide=id.g34608d763_079
  for reference. The popover is opened using PopupUtils.open(…).

  I’ve tried two different approaches to achieve that, but none actually
  works:

   - passing the webview as the caller
   - passing no caller parameter at all

  In both cases, the popover is horizontally centered, but it’s anchored
  to the top of the scene.

  I’m attaching a standalone example that demonstrates the issue.
