Hi @YeungKC
could you provide your
flutter doctor -v, a minimal reproducible code sample how are you using it and describe desired result?YeungKC commentedon Jun 26, 2020
Hi @VladyslavBondarenko
Sorry, this is not a bug, this component only supports only one effect, for example, I want the position to stay the same, or a bubble effect like iOS message.
Like this, but the current component cannot support:

Oh I see, so the folder is at the same location on the screen before and after opening?
@YeungKC Do you have an opinion on what the API would look like for that, or how Apple does it? Currently in Flutter I think it appears in the same quadrant of the screen that it was in originally.

Hi~
Maybe more options should be added, such as targetPosition? More action widget display options, not limited to context menu action?
I think it should be split more flexibly. I can still reuse some widget when the effects of the widget are not satisfied.
In addition, I think this function can reuse components to #60298

I've compared with the native context menu. It seems like the native context menu is centered only if the child has a preview different from itself (i.e when the context menu is active, a different widget/preview is displayed vs. when the context menu is inactive). If child == preview, the context menu opens and is positioned in-place. @YeungKC what do you think?
EDIT: Even with a preview it still opens in place rather than at the center of the screen:
