[webkit-qt] QtWebKit creates new Window to show Popup Menu

[Rajkumar, Arunprasad]

Hello All,

I'm facing an issue while invoking Popup Menu in QtWebKit. While clicking on the Popup Menu Qt tries to create one more window to show it.

AFAIK  while creating any QWidget if parent is not specified Qt will create a new window to show the widget. The same scenario is happening while trying to populate the dropdown. WebKit is requesting the port(Qt) to create a popup menu via ChromeClientQt::createSelectPopup, there the call delegated to QtPlatformPlugin without passing any parent widget.

Is this is the expected behavior or it is a bug ?.
