[Deskbar] doesn't redraw it's shelf

[diver]

Deskbar doesn't redraw it's shelf if you open calendar: hold left or middle mouse button on deskbar's shelf for a second so calendar will appear and then click and hold shelf again. You should see deskbar window not to draw its content for a half of second.

Under BeOS, the menu doesn't open again, and that's probably how they get around this.

This specific problem is gone after Waldemar's changes in rev 19349 and 19350. The calendar, though, doesn't close when you click on the deskbar the second time. But this is a different problem which, I think, should be fixed within the app_server ( see also comment 4 in bug #670 )

This bug is still here.

Move to the proper component.

I can still reproduce here, hrev27160, i'll have a look

Well i looked at the code, and there's a (~0.5sec) waiting loop in MouseDown to detect the long click. So i would say it is expected that the deskbar can't do anything during that time, or am i missing something?

I did a quick rewrite of the long click detection using a separate class/thread that sends "long click" messages to the view, it's cool and working but, before i cleanup and commit, i wonder if there wasn't a simpler solution or if i'm not working around a problem that should get fixed in the first place :-)

You could also just set up a half second BMessageRunner :) Busy waiting in MouseDown would definitely be an issue though.
