My app has lots of subwindows. Often the bottom of those windows ends up being outside the viewable browser area.
When such a window is dragged, any component on the top (such as a menu bar) disappears - and the browser shows no scrollbar!
The top (e.g. menu bar can) only be brought back by either:
- zooming all the way out and back in
- moving the window all the way to the top to “scroll” the manu bar back in.
I have tried all kinds of things imaginable, but clearly I am missing the solution :-).
Is there a way to either:
- force the browser to show a scroll bar?
- or avoid this problem in the first place (I tried making the main window huge, but that doesn’t help)
I have distilled the essential problem into this tiny app:
public class HelloVaadin extends com.vaadin.Application {
public void init() {
Window main= new Window("Window drag test");
setMainWindow(main);
VerticalLayout v = new VerticalLayout();
main.addComponent(v);
v.addComponent(new Label("This label is on top and should stay there - but it doesn't (and the browser will get no scroll bar)"));
Window win = new Window("Window with bottom outside of viewing area");
win.setPositionY(400);
win.addComponent(new Label("When the window is dragged, the top label disappers... (until moved all the way to the top)"));
win.setHeight("600px");
main.addWindow(win);
}
Screen shot when starting the test app above:
When starting to drag the window:
Thanks a lot for any help!

PS:
I can get scrollbars to appear in the browser with:
v.setHeight("2000px");
main.setHeight( "2000px");But moving that scrollbar does not move the label back in either.
