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 -Vincent
