Map not showing in animated disclosure panel (IE8)

[Viktor Bresan]

Hi all.

I have a DisclosurePanel that contains FlexTable. Left table column
contains MapWidget and right column contains some Labels and
TextBoxes.

When DisclosurePanel's animation is enabled, on open / close map is
shown only for a split second and than it immediately disappears.

When DisclosurePanel's animation is disabled, map is shown correctly.

I am using GWT 1.7.1, gwt-maps 1.0.4 and IE8.


Viktor.

One thing you might try is the map.checkResize() function.  It fixes a number of layout ills.

I have called both checkResize and checkResizeAndCenter from
DisclosurePanel OpenHandler's onOpen method. Map is centered but it
still disappears immediately.

I'm sorry, I don't have a good answer for you.  Have you tried it in any other browser?  If so, what are the results (does it seem to be isolated ot ie8?)  Would you mind creating an issue on the GWT issue tracker with a small reproduction case?

Here is a code snippet from someone on the GWT contributors mailing list having a similar problem that came across today.  They were using DockPanel instead of DisclosurePanel, but I thought I'd pass it along.

               root.animate(0, new AnimationCallback()
               {
                       public void onLayout(Layer layer, double progress)
                       {
                       }

                       public void onAnimationComplete()
                       {
                               map.checkResizeAndCenter();
                       }
               });

I have spent some more time playing with this. The problem that I have
described earlier happens only when widget is added to DisclosurePanel
with DisclosurePanel.add() method. If DisclosurePanel.setContent() is
used, map is shown as it should be. I couldn't figure out this earlier
since add() behaved otherwise normally.

Kind regards, Viktor.
