I have a rich popupPanel with two selectOneMenus which render some more components inside the popup when used. The main problem is that the popup Panel does not get autosized when the components are rendered. The problem appeared when I updated to richfaces 4.3.7, but this version solves another problem that I had, so I don't want to get back to a previous version.
<rich:popupPanel id="editAccessPopup" modal="true" autosized="true" domElementAttachment="parent">

I have found here: https://developer.jboss.org/thread/241593 that I can use this panel.doResizeOrMove(RichFaces.ui.PopupPanel.Sizer.Diff.EMPTY); to force the popup to resize. I have two questions:
Thank you in advance!
You just call the method, same way you're doing it for closing the panel:
#{rich:component('editAccessPopup')}.doResizeOrMove(RichFaces.ui.PopupPanel.Sizer.Diff.EMPTY);
As for other options you can rerender the whole panel. Add oncomplete="#{rich:component('editAccessPopup')}.show(); to the commandbutton to show the panel again.
