Perhaps the notation is broken.
Why do you need the quotes there? The panel should be delimited by its {}.
Then you can write
popup_text() {
menu_popup -s panel { width = 100% ; height = 100% ; direction = top_to_bottom
panel { valign = expand ; halign = expand ; text { text = "$1" } }
panel { halign = expand ; text { text = "OK" }}
}
Thanks
