showRelativeTo doesn't work the first time

[Dennis Haupt]

there seems to be something wrong with my popups. the first time i try to show a popup via showRelativeTo(someWidget), it simply doesn't show with firefix and chrome. ie9 works fine.

both times, the coordinates are equal. PopupPanel.setPopupPosition is called with the same parameters, so it's not an out-of-screen-coordinates problem. any hints?

I've had issues with positioning (specifically centering) when setting dimensions of the popup contents using CSS (width in my case, but I imagine hight could have similar issues). My dialog box would be positioned too far to the right the first time is was displayed using center(). The second and successive calls to center() would work properly. Especially strange is that the behavior was the same even when creating new instances of the dialog box. (My testing was in Safari)

Calling setWidth() on the dialog's widget from java instead of using CSS fixed it for me.

I've also seen similar problems with showRelativeTo.  I've noticed that if I show a popup dialog that has dynamic sizing (i.e. the widget is a FlowPanel), the first time it pops up it shows as very wide and goes off the screen.  If I close and re-open it, the second time it correctly wraps its contents to the boundary of the window.  I think maybe there is a timing problem with the position() call inside showRelativeTo?

figured it out, in my case i've opened the popup via a clicklistener on
a hyperlink. the first time, the dialog opened and immediately closed
again because of the history event
