Hi devs,
While working on the new GWT-based WYSIWYG editor, I find out that
the
default DialogBox from GWT moves very slow when dragged if it
contains
many HTML elements (like a table with 10 rows and 20 columns). In the
current WYSIWYG editor dialog boxes are used for color picker, custom
character, insert image / attachment / macro / table. Before I start
porting these dialogs to GWT I'd like to ask you:
Do you agree with using dialog boxes for these features?
* if so, do you think it's ok to optimize the way they are moved by
showing only their border while dragging (win95-like)?
If you do so, what are you showing instead of the dialog content ? the
content behind ? or a plain color ?
I think the main use case (if not the only ?) for moving such
dialogs is
to see what's behind. In that case showing only the border and let the
user see what's behind is good IMO.
I can't believe GWT is not able to that properly and that some simple
javascript like we had was able to do it.
Is that a known issue of GWT?
Before we decide to use a degraded solution I'd like to be sure
there's no other way.
Thanks
