GWT SuggestBoxPopUp Z-index


I am currently working with GWT and the SuggestBox. The Suggestboxpopup is appearing behind the panel the Suggestbox is placed on. I am aware that there is an issue with the Suggestbox popup's z-index but I am looking to see if anyone has another solution other than hard-wiring the the z-index in the CSS.

The reason for this is the panel the suggest box is on has a Z-index helper which moves the panel to the front anytime it is clicked. While a super high z-index will resolve the issue i am wondering has anyone found a better solution which will allow the popup to move with the other widgets.


Solution

  • Yep, this is an known problem in SuggestBox which is in the issues list of GWT. It has been closed recently because of a lack of activity in the issue, you can put a comment to reopen it though.

    I think it is not very important because no much apps need a suggest box on a popup.

    I had the same issue in a project and I solved it with css as you suggest.
