BMenufields behaving strangely

[scanty]

I have a view with a number of statically sized BMenuFields stacked one above the previous in a column. It should appear as a column of same-sized BMenuFields as they are all the same size in width and height when created. However this does not occur. It looks as if the BMenuFields are smudged downward and increase in size despite their BRects. Here is the code I use to create them:

BRect r (8, 128, 120, 32);
	fHueField = new BMenuField(r, "_hue_menu", "Hue", fHueMenu, true);
	fHueField->SetDivider(0);
	
	r.Set(8, 156, 120, 172);
	fSaturationField = new BMenuField(r, "_sat_menu", "Saturation", fSatMenu, true);
	fSaturationField->SetDivider(0);
	
	r.Set(8, 184, 120, 312);
	fContrastField = new BMenuField(r, "_contrast_menu", "Contrast", fContrastMenu, true);
	fContrastField->SetDivider(0);
	
	r.Set(8, 212, 120, 452);
	fBrightnessField = new BMenuField(r, "_bright_menu", "Brightness", fBrightnessMenu, true);
	fBrightnessField->SetDivider(0);
	
	r.Set(8, 240, 120, 592);
	fGammaField = new BMenuField(r, "_gamma_menu", "Gamma", fGammaMenu, true);
	fGammaField->SetDivider(0);

And a screenshot follows.

MenuFields

Your rects are completely broken.

The first one's top is greater than its bottom, while the third and fourth are > 100 pixels high.

The reason that this might have worked before is that in ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/commit/?id=9af9f51 fixed sized BMenuFields were changed to not be resized in the constructor. This was done in the name of BeOS R5 compatibility and it makes sense that if you are using a fixed size menu field you should have direct control over the width and height of the menu field based on the frame rectangle you specify.

So you need to fix the code on your end and get the sizes and positions of the frame rectangles right.

Yes, the code used to work fine. In any event, I have fixed my rects and buttoned up the problem. Thanks for the tips guys.
