QWindow::showFullScreen is buggy on Mac OS 10.8
-
I'm using Qt 5.0 on Mac OS 10.8.
QWindow::showFullScreen() and ::showNormal() are the procedural way to enter and exit full screen mode.
On Mac OS 10.8 (and 10.7) each window has an "expand" button that looks like two arrows pointing away from each other in the upper right of the window that gives a user interface to full screen mode.The bug is that with Qt 5.0 on Mac OS 10.8 if you use the expand button and then call showNormal(), it does not exit full screen mode. I conclude that the expand button is messing up some state information inside Qt. Below is a stripped down program and a script to reproduce the bug.
Put cursor in window and type these keys --- And you'll see this
A
up-arrow --- enters full screen, as it should
B
down-arrow --- exits full screen, as it should
C
expand-button --- enters full screen, as it should
D
down-arrow --- calls showNormal, but does not exit full screen! bug!
E
up-arrow --- calls showFullScreen, so should do nothing, but it exits full screen! bug!
FThe keys A,B,C,D,E,F above simply act as markers in the history. The printout is:

Resize from -1x-1 to 200x100
Resize from 640x480 to 200x100
KeyPress key=0x00000041=(A) status: isFullScreen=0 windowState=0
KeyPress key=0x01000013=()=UP
showFullScreen - Resize from 200x100 to 1280x800
status: isFullScreen=1 windowState=1
KeyPress key=0x00000042=(B) status: isFullScreen=1 windowState=1
KeyPress key=0x01000015=()=DOWN
showNormal - status: isFullScreen=0 windowState=0
Resize from 1280x800 to 200x100
KeyPress key=0x00000043=(C) status: isFullScreen=0 windowState=0
Resize from 200x100 to 1280x800
KeyPress key=0x00000044=(D) status: isFullScreen=1 windowState=1
KeyPress key=0x01000015=()=DOWN
showNormal - status: isFullScreen=0 windowState=0
KeyPress key=0x00000045=(E) status: isFullScreen=0 windowState=0
KeyPress key=0x01000013=()=UP
showFullScreen - status: isFullScreen=1 windowState=1
Resize from 1280x800 to 200x100
KeyPress key=0x00000046=(F) status: isFullScreen=0 windowState=0
@Note that the first UP and DOWN keys and the expand button cause Resize events, as they should, but the DOWN that is done after D does not cause a Resize event, and the isFullScreen() values after that DOWN and at E are incorrect. So as far as I can tell, the numbers in the Resize are accurate, but isFullScreen() can't be trusted fully on 10.8, nor windowState(), nor showNormal(), nor showFullScreen().
Is there a workaround for this until it's fully fixed?
thanks

I put this in bugtracker - see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-30139 .
Aside: the link to bugtracker from the forum's Start New Discussion page was broken, which is why I didn't post this as a bug initially!
