Python right click popup menu items not enabled

Platform
1

Hello,

I am trying to get a menu to popup at the coordinates of mouse pointer with a set of actions.

This is part of the work to convert the D-rats application from PyGtk to at least Gtk 3 with close to the same functionality. I am not the original author.

I am getting the menu popup to appear on the right click, but none of the actions can be selected.

# map/mappopupmenu.py
import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gio
class MapPopupModel(Gio.Menu):
    def __init__(self, position):
        Gio.Menu.__init__(self)

        menu_popup = Gio.Menu()
        menu_popup.append(_("Center here"), 'win.center')

    @staticmethod
    def add_actions(window):
        action_center = Gio.SimpleAction(name='center',
                                         parameter_type=None,
                                         enabled=True)
        action_center.connect('activate', window.popup_center_handler)
        window.add_action(action_center)

        self.tilesize = tilesize
        self.set_size_request(self.tilesize * self.width,

        self.set_default_size(800, 600)
        MapPopupModel.add_actions(self)

    def _mouse_click_event(self, widget, event):
            position="10, 100" # Actually where mouse is on map
            popup_model = Map.PopupModel(position)
            popup_menu = Gtk.Menu.new_from_model(popup_model)
            popup_menu.popup_at_pointer()

    def popup_center_handler(self, _action, _value):
        print("action", type(_action))
        print("value", type(_value))

add_actions() misses

        window.add_action(action_center);

I missed pasting that in extracting code for the example, I do have the window.add_action(action_center). I have corrected that.

I locally have diagnostic code and the “center” action is in the ‘win’ action group for the window object.

It looks like the menu widget resulting from popup_at_pointer() that is launched from the button event from the Gtk.ScrolledWindow can not see the ‘win’ action group in the application window that is its parent.

Before I just extracted the parts of the code that I thought would show the issue.

Here is full program to demonstrate that the menu does not get enabled.

A minor change to above and the menu is working.

    def _mouse_click_event(self, _widget, event):  # type: ignore
        popup_model = MapPopupModel("%s, %s" % (event.x, event.y))
        popup_menu = Gtk.Menu.new_from_model(popup_model)
        popup_menu.attach_to_widget(self)
        popup_menu.popup_at_pointer()

I had to attach the created popup window to the application window.
