Don't understand it myself

The only time I have the problem is when I execute a (global) function from within a mousedown() of an object

ie
Textbox.MouseDown()
...
nodefault
=DoSomePopup(args )


SomePopup(args )

acti screen && without this, there's the problem
local p
p = sys(2015)
define popup (p) margin shortcut scroll

activate popup (p) at mRow(), mCol()

There must be a reason. And I haven't found it (yet)



>I have a problem with menu appearing off to the Right during a Popup on top of a Grid...just tried the idea below but it didn't help (thanks anyway)...the wierd thing is that it is always off straight to the RIGHT, as if Mrow(),Mcol()-x might work...?
