Hi Riku,

ColumnView is a very limited component, created to work-around limitations in 
Qt Quick views. But you are right, there is a bug in ColumnView. ColumnView 
doesn't behave nicely when delegates are ComboBoxes, the dynamic sizing of 
ContextMenu only works with ListItems. I created a bug for the issue in our 
internal bug tracking database.

Adding similar kind of special-case handling to ComboBox as we have in ListItem 
seems ot fix the issue:

sailfish-silica/components/ComboBox.qml:
+    on_MenuOpenChanged: {
+        var viewItem = comboBox.ListView.view || comboBox.GridView.view
+        if (viewItem && ('__silica_contextmenu_instance' in viewItem)) {
+            viewItem.__silica_contextmenu_instance = _menuOpen ? menu : null
+        }
+    }

The design you are creating is a bit unusual, ComboBoxes are normally used in 
Settings views with fixed number of settings components.

Cheers,

Joona

Subject: [SailfishDevel] ColumnView is not scaling properly with ComboBox 
including ContextMenu.

Hi,

When developing my 'At work' app I used ColumnView with ComboBox including 
ContextMenu. I noticed that ColumnView is not scaling properly in that case.

E.g I have 10 items in a listmodel for ColumnView. For each listmodel item 
there  are three menu items. In the column view first items can be handled 
properly but the last items not  because ContextMenu will be hidden by the 
fixed size ColumnView.

I explored the ColumnView implementation and noticed there to be an attempt to 
deal ContextMenu by affecting the implicitHeight of the ColumnView. 
https://github.com/dm8tbr/sailfishsilica-qt5/blob/master/usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/ColumnView.qml

Have anybody met similar problems? Is the ComboBox preventing the scalability?

The app 'At work' is in the  harbour and the page code is in github:

Regards, Riku Lahtinen
