I have a site that contains a mish mash of out of the box widgets and custom ones. I'm not sure if this behavior has been introduced recently or was always there, but when I close a widget, any widget, I can still interact with it.
If I hover over where the buttons were the cursor changes, a tooltip appears, and clicking on the button works as if it were visible.
The Widget is within a Widget Container and, in this case, no custom code has been added.
<widgetcontainer layout="float"> <!--horizontal(default)|float|vertical|fix -->
<widget label="Bookmarks" left="430" top="90"
icon="assets/images/i_bookmark.png"
config="widgets/Bookmark/BookmarkWidget.xml"
url="widgets/Bookmark/BookmarkWidget.swf"/>
</widgetcontainer>
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or know where in the FlexViewer framework this behavior is controlled?
