The buttons on the search bar dont behave like they do in the toolbars.
Clicking on a button with a menu pops up the menu but does not perform
the action. And right clicking on them has no effect. This will be
confusing and a source of bug report noise. So maybe if the action has a
menu, have it open on right click only, depending on popup_type in the
action definition.
This problem arose because my code for keyboard shortcuts in Saved searches and Manage categories didn't work if the buttons on the search toolbar had menus. The popup menu appeared in some seemingly random spot. Of course it wasn't random, but ... I fixed it by changing the button to pop up the menu. That caused the behavior change.
I fixed this by removing the shortcuts from the main actions of Saved searches and Manage categories. Instead I used the API you provided in InterfaceAction to create menu items with shortcuts. With the change the 'main' qaction acts like it should, triggering the action for the button pressed. Right-click shows the menu as does clicking the down arrow.
Using a shortcut triggers the hidden menu action, which causes the code to search for any convenient place to put the menu. FWIW: this is a much better implementation. The 'hunt around' code only executes when the user presses a shortcut.
As a consequence existing shortcuts for Manage categories are lost because the shortcut name changed. Oh well. I doubt there are many, probably not any, calibre users who have defined a keyboard shortcut. They haven't had long -- only a release or two.
