Description Sebastian Kügler 2014-03-09 23:04:50 UTC 
When trying to set an item to a favorite in Kickoff, the context menu shows up only sometimes, most of the times it does not. The Kickoff popup dialog closes everytime.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Kickoff icon
2. search for an application
3. right click on the application item to show the context menu
Actual Results:  
the kickoff popup closes, the context menu either doesn't show up (most of the time), shortly flickers (some of the time) or pops up, but kickoff still closes.

Expected Results:  
Kickoff stays open, context menu stays open until dismissed and works

This seems to be a problem with the transient parent of the ContextMenu, or perhaps an issue in PlasmaCore.Dialog's dismiss-on-focus lost.

with some contraptions i managed to put the correct transientParent to the menu: menu transientparent == popup dialog.

However it doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?

Pushed by mart into branch 'master'.

don't close the menu on submenu open

HACK: is not possible to set a transient parent of a QWindow as a QWidget
because the QWidget's window is not existent until is shown,
at that point it's too late for setting a transient parent
