[OpenLayers-Dev] Re: Bug in the positioning of popups "Anchored", "Framed" and "FramedCloud" using argument "anchor".

[Roald de Wit]

  Hi Xavier,

It looks like I'm responsible for that one... My apologies for causing 
problems. I have to admit that I did not test these changes with 
OpenLayers.Layer.Markers but with OpenLayers.Layer.Vector.

After having looked into the issue, I think (and hope) that we can keep 
the changes in that revision and, if possible, fix the issue for markers.

Some arguments against reverting the change:
- It does indeed fix a problem where a popup related to a vector feature 
did not use the anchor as it should
- Markers are sort of 'not done'. Rule is to use vectors. (see [1] for 
example)
- createPopup is not an API property (not sure if that was intentional)

I rewrote popupMatrix.html to work pretty much the same but then for 
vector layers (attached to the #2870). Maybe it's a good idea to replace 
the old one with this one (provided that it's bug-free)?

Please let me know if this solves the issue for you. If not, I'm sure it 
should not be too hard to make it work for both Vector and Marker 
features and I'm happy to investigate that.

Regards, Roald
