I have implemented a multi-select drop-down menu in the snippet below. It seems to work fine. However, each time I select an item, the menu closes. I'd like the menu to stay open until the User clicks a 'done' button.
Strangely enough, the menu stays open if I deselect an item, but closes if I selected an item.

The control of close/open of the menu in
paper-dropdown-menu
usespaper-menu-button
. https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-dropdown-menu/blob/master/paper-dropdown-menu.html#L150The specification states set
ignoreSelect
totrue
. https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/paper-menu-buttonThere is a bug on this https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-menu-button/issues/58
But maybe works in your environment (works at least on Chrome and Firefox). Check if the
ignore-select
works in the "Paper Menu with multi selection" https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/paper-menu-button?view=demo:demo/index.html&active=paper-menu-buttonIf it does, then from the
paper-dropdown-menu
get the underlyingpaper-menu-button
and setignoreSelect = true
;With
The set
ignoreSelect
should be set with something like this (I mainly work in the Dart framework):
