Limitations

This textual widget is in early stage and has some limitations:

• Mouse interaction is not yet implemented.
• It can only open below, not above: Make sure to reserve space below for the dialog.
• It needs a specific mount point (picker_mount) where the dialog shall appear. This is needed because the container widget with the select itself could be too small. Maybe in future versions this will no longer be needed.
