Unable to scroll horizontally in QListView

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet !

Can you elaborate a bit more on this ? What version of Qt are you using ? On what OS ? What is your use case ?

Hi thx for the welcome!

I'm using Qt 5.2, on arch linux 64bit. I'm trying to list a bunch of files, like a file browser. I noticed this seems to be the default behaviour as well when I open a file choose dialog with Qt.

SGaist

If you use one of your system's program that has a list view, does it do the same ?

zenwong

I downloaded a Qt file manager app http://www.qtfm.org and it has the same problem, unable to scroll unless the mouse pointer is directly over the horizontal scrollbar. I also notice the same issue in Qt Assistant.

I normally use thunar as my file manager, it does not have this problem.

SGaist

Then it might be related to your window manager. What desktop environment are you using ?

zenwong

Openbox.

SGaist

Can you switch to another desktop environment to check whether it's specific to Openbox ?

zenwong

I've just tested this on windows 7, and I get the same behaviour.

Then you should check the "bug report system":http://bugreports.qt-project.org to see whether it's something known.

If not, please open a new report providing a minimal compilable example that shows the behavior.

Thank you, can you also post the link to the report here ? So other people coming across this post can see it
