> Hm, the whole parent menu tree and all their frames should be accessible
from submenus. The existing implementation which layouts the screen frame
of a submenu relative to it's parent and menu item can just take this into
account, no?
Generally I don't find it nice when objects play with their parents. I'd
rather give a menu a preferred submenu opening direction attribute. A menu
could then simply set that (to the actual direction) on a submenu it is
about to open.
Replying to [comment:5 axeld]:
> We could even let it point in the other direction, though I don't know
if that is really a good solution :-)
When coming close to a screen border that would mean that the arrows could
point in different directions. As a solution the code could choose a
common direction that would work for all submenus.
