Sub menu opening on wrong mouse button click in Qt5 (5.5.1) (on Windows (7?)?)?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you check that with the latest version of Qt ? Either the stable 5.6.0 or the 5.7 Beta ?

Hi and thanks,

Sorry, I am only a user. I guess one would need to access the source to test such things, right? However, I have now asked some developers whether they can check it.

No, you can just install them. Qt 5.6 is accessible through the online installer. The beta is accessible from the download page at the bottom.

Just installed Qt 5.6. Programs still use the version they used to use (5.5.1).

(So I cannot test it myself.)

You can replace the dll's in your program folder by the one provided by the installer.

@SGaist Does not work either. The program just starts to complain about missing dlls, like libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

Isn't there a simpler way to test qt sub menus? Like an example application that contains already all the dlls and has sub menus?

You can build and run the Menus Example example

@SGaist As I said, I am not a developer. The Menus Example example seems to me not self-explanatory. What are the steps to build and run it?

SGaist · 23 Apr 2016, 21:46

Launch Qt Creator
On the welcome screen select Examples
In the search file, put Menus
Click on it
Configure the project with the default provided
Click the run arrow

@SGaist Thanks for the instruction. I have tried it in Qt5.6 and the bug still persists. I have not tried beta Qt5.7. Is there any reason to think that the bug is fixed?

SGaist · 23 Apr 2016, 22:44

I don't know whether there's been work done on that part but it's worth a try.

racoon · S SGaist 23 Apr 2016, 22:24

@SGaist I have found no the betas (http://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/5.7/5.7.0-beta/). Do you know which one should I install for Windows 7 64bit?

SGaist · 24 Apr 2016, 07:47

What about all the qt-opensource-windows-x86-XXX ?

racoon · S SGaist 23 Apr 2016, 22:53

@SGaist I would have thought that one of them would be enough. Also some say something about Android in addition. Isn't that a phone OS?

Anyway, I have now installed and tested and the bug is still there. If I write up the details of the bug would you be able to file a report or tell me how that is done?

SGaist · wrote on 24 Apr 2016, 20:26

One is enough, but on Windows you have several versions of Visual Studio that you can use and they are not compatible one with the other and there's also MinGW without forgetting 32 vs 64 bit. That's why there are several packages.

Android does more than just phones. Qt has been ported to Android since several years (also iOS for that matter).

You can do it on the bug report system
