"Could not open popup menu from specified element" on clip view

Hi,

Trying to "object select in edit window" from the clip view using code from here but can't seem to get it to work if the clip view has scrolled at all, or if the clip view isn't scrolled but the clip is too close to the bottom of the viewport, and the viewport in turn is too close to the bottom of the screen. It appears as if (on a Mac at least) when you open a context menu near the edge of the screen, it is offset vertically from the site of the click, and so whatever mechanism ought to grab it, doesn't. You can replicate these conditions by loading enough clips into a session that the clip view scrolls. The popupMenuSelect etc methods stop working at about three or four items from the bottom, and don't work past that.

Alternatively, I would be eager to know some other way to object-select clips (i.e. take a vanilla selection and put the orange highlight on the intersecting clips) in the timeline programmatically.

Thanks,
