Hello,

I think, I've discovered a bug in the palette: When opening a drawer
which contains several entries but there's not enough room to display
them all, the last visible entry becomes greyed out and a small triangle
appears at the bottom of the drawer. Now it's possible to click on the
triangle but not on other drawers anymore.

An example can be found here: http://www.evolvica.org/images/gefbug.png
In this state is is possible to "scroll" down the recombination entry
list but it's impossible to open for instance the evaluation drawer.

Why are some of your drawers indented with a margin? Do you have drawers
inside a PaletteGroup? This is not supported.

Please indicate which release of GEF you are using.

Yes, there are drawers inside another drawer. Didn't know that something
like that is not supported because it seemed to work ...

Release 2.1.0 (2003-03-27)

It probably does work, but I don't think the margin looks good. If you
allow the user to switch to column layout, the columns will not be aligned.
If you want to debug this, put a breakpoint in
DomainEventDispatcher.dispatchMousePressed(), and find out where the pressed
event is ending up. Sorry, nothing comes to mind that would cause this, but
if the fix is simple, it might be able to go into 2.1.1.

Why don't you open a feature request for sub-drawers. Even if
drawers-in-drawers worked and had no margin, there is no visual distinction
between the two. It is not obvious to the user that closing the parent
drawer also hides the drawers inside it, since this is not default behavior.
