Qt 5.0.2 & 5.1.0 Drag and Drop crash

[bodzio131]

Hi,
Could you load *.pdb files for Qt binaries and then provide callstack?
As far as I can see you use visual leak detector (vld_x86.dll). Do you encounter your problems without it?
Could you try to build your program on linux and use valgrind?

[raven-worx]

can you show some lines of code ... or even share your project for inspection?

[SoulSharer]

Thanks for replies guys, I did try to turn off visual leak detector (and it is off by default in release) - same situation and I don't have a chance to build it on Linux I'm afraid. (mostly because I depend on Microsofts stuff, like DirectX for example)

Not sure where would I get .pdb files for binaries, other than by compiling myself which is a pain for Qt 5 with this new libraries (icu, angle) as far as I see.

There is a lot of code and a lot of unrelated to the issue (also it is a closed project so I can't open the whole thing to the public, even if I want to), so I can only provide small snippets from it I guess, not sure what is need though. So I will post what I'm doing with drag and drop.

Starting with (SpriteDBList : QListWidget):
@void SpriteDBList::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent *event )
{
QListWidget::mousePressEvent(event);

if (this->selectedItems().count() == 0) return;

if (event->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
dragStartPosition = event->pos();
}

void SpriteDBList::mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent *event )
{
if (selectedItems().count() == 0 || !(event->buttons() & Qt::LeftButton) || (event->pos() - dragStartPosition).manhattanLength()
< QApplication::startDragDistance())
{
QListWidget::mouseMoveEvent(event);
return;
}

if (!currentItem()) {
return;
}

seString spriteFrameName = currentItem()->text().toStdString();
seString spriteFrameFullPath = m_dbWidget->GetCurrentDir() + "\" + spriteFrameName;

QDrag *drag = new QDrag(this);
QMimeData *mimeData = new QMimeData();
QByteArray data(spriteFrameFullPath.c_str());
mimeData->setData("joi/spriteframe_path", data);
drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
drag->setPixmap(currentItem()->icon().pixmap(80, 80)); //icon with which we will move
drag->setHotSpot(QPoint(drag->pixmap().width()/2,
drag->pixmap().height()/2)); //where our cursor will be relative to topleft of pixmap

Qt::DropAction dropAction = drag->exec(Qt::CopyAction, Qt::CopyAction);
}
@
and ending in (AnimationFrameTable : QTableWidget):
@
void AnimationFrameTable::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event) {
Qt::DropAction action = event->proposedAction();

if (action == Qt::IgnoreAction) {
event->ignore();
return;
}

QObject* source = event->source();

if (event->mimeData() == NULL) {
event->ignore();
return;
} else {
const QMimeData* mime = event->mimeData();

if (mime->hasFormat("joi/spriteframe_path")) {
event->accept(); //looks like crash happens after this line
} else {
event->ignore();
}
}
}

void AnimationFrameTable::dragMoveEvent(QDragMoveEvent *e) {
Qt::DropAction action = e->proposedAction();
if (action == Qt::IgnoreAction) {
e->ignore();
return;
}

QObject* source = e->source();
const QMimeData* mime = e->mimeData();
if (mime == NULL) {
e->ignore();
} else if (mime->hasFormat("joi/spriteframe_path")) {
e->accept();
} else {
e->ignore();
}
}

void AnimationFrameTable::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event) {
Qt::DropAction action = event->proposedAction();
if (action == Qt::IgnoreAction) {
event->ignore();
return;
}

if (event->mimeData() == NULL || !event->mimeData()->hasFormat("joi/spriteframe_path")) {
event->ignore();
return;
}

QByteArray data = event->mimeData()->data("joi/spriteframe_path");
QString fullpath = data;
m_animWindow->AddSpriteFrame(fullpath.toStdString());

event->accept();
}@

There are a lot of checks just because I wanted to nail down the issue, still didn't help at all.
I checked everything in what I've posted. For example I commented strings just to see whether it is a heap corruption and passed mimeData with empty QByteArray, didn't help either.

And it crashes before it gets to dropEvent() function as I've mentioned before

Ok, I've managed to load in .pdb and here is a callstack, now it looks useful:

Hi,

Hope you don't mind me asking that, but would aren't you reinventing the wheel ? Drag and Drop support are already supported in QTableWidget and QListWidget.

You might better go overloading "QTableWidget::dropMimeData":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtablewidget.html#dropMimeData and "QListWidget::mimeData":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qlistwidget.html#mimeData

You would then only have to care about your data.

Hope it helps

Didn't know about that, thanks. I might use it for most of the stuff, but I still want to find out what's wrong with current code if possible.

[raven-worx]

This code looks good so far ... the problem must be somewhere else.

[bodzio131]

Do you manage QObject descendants by yourself? Maybe you delete such objects directly (instead of deleteLater) or you use smart pointers with such objects. It could be a real problem if you interfere with Qt objects management model.

I think you need to narrow your project by cutting whatever you can step by step, or try to use the same drag-drop logic in simpler app. However, I suppose the problem can be far away from part which shows crash :(

Thanks for the help.

No I don't manage anything related to QObject myself and don't use smart pointers at all. The maximum I do is subclassing existing widgets to reimplement drag and drop actions.

And yeah I will try to cut it into something testable.

[SoulSharer]

For some reason in notifyInternal() receiver is NULL (0) after dropping, which causes all of this. Still trying to recreate this issue.

[raven-worx]

this means that you probably deleting objects before the drag has finished.
Or creating them on the wrong storage location (e.g. stack).

[SoulSharer]

Thing is I don't allocate on stack or delete them at all, my windows are allocated on heap and are not deleted until main window closes.
-Checked it once more, everything alright

Could it be because of some broken relationship between QMainWindows or QWidgets?

And Dropping does work if I don't do it fast, if I do it fast it gets reciever that is null and so it crashes.

[raven-worx]

Hard to tell if you can't show more code...

[SoulSharer]

Never mind, thanks for help anyway.

Hello,

I also experience a crash during drag n drop with the very same callstack after the crash.

In my case the crash occurs in a qtreeview when i drag n drop item internally.

In fact everything works fine until I double click an item of the view to rename it.

1 - I fill the item delegate with the new name
2 - Press enter to validate
3 - setData of the model is called (but does nothing).
4 - I try to drag & drop an item
5 - dragEnterEvent is called once.
6 - dragMoveEvent is called once
7 - program crash in QScopedPointer line134

I just found something that seems to fix the issue here.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17373591/qt5-custom-lineedit-widget-qlineedit-subclass-private-variable-crashes-applica

I have unchecked acceptDrop on the qtreeview that own the items and it doesn't crash anymore.

EDIT : it doesn't works finally, it was the interruption of the debugger that prevented the problem to occur by interrupting the item delegate validation.

[SoulSharer]

Well, I've updated to 5.1.0, it still crashes. But now it also outputs this:

I have debugged a little in qt's code and there is something weird.

Before I rename an item everything works fine and the function QWindowsOleDropTarget::Drop qwindowsdrag.cpp 683 is called only when I release the mouse button over the item I want to do the drop on.
After I have renamed an item I start a drag, the dragEnterEvent occurs one time, then dragMoveEvent occurs one time too and the program crashes under QWindowsOleDropTarget::Drop qwindowsdrag.cpp 683 but I never released the button so this drop should not have occured.
If , after I renamed an item (so the app should crash the next time I drag an item in the treeview), I open an explorer windows, start to drag an item in it and press escape to cancel the drag then come back to my application and start a drag I don't crash and everything works fine.

I am on Windows 7 x64 with Qt 5.1.0 (vs2010)

QtCreator designer has a very similar problem, I can't drag widget from the toolbox until I canceled a drag with ESC in an explorer window. If I delete a widget in the designer the pb reappear and I must cancel a drag again in an explorer window.

[SGaist]

Hi,

Can you write a little test program showing the problem ? You could then open a "bug report":http://bugreports.qt-project.org/issues/ with it

[smartopworks]

The issue still exists in QT 5.2 for Ubuntu and it does not only affect QTreeView but also the QPlainTextEdit affected or others.
