    I will debug the code some more and try to find the conditions this happens.

    as to the code, it's not the TrueFramelessWindow. I've tried to find it, but it's as if someone removed it..

      super.
      I would insert
      qDebug() in a few places so I could run the app with no break points and still see what is going on.

        Hi again.
        It took me awhile to check this code thoroughly, because of other projects, but I've checked it now.
        The results are strange:
        When I comment out the line responsible for mouse cursor change, the error does not occur.
        When I enable the code, but add qDebug info one line above (before code execution), then the error occurs, but I don't get any debug info about it.
        Any ideas on how is this possible?

        I wanted to take a screenshot of this error, but the mose is not visible on the screenshot.

        and here's the whole code, as it is right now:

        
        #include <QDateTime>
        #include <QDebug>

            _leftButtonPressed(false),
            _borderWidth(3),
            _dragPos(QPoint())
        {

            _parent->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
            _parent->setAttribute(Qt::WA_Hover);
            _parent->installEventFilter(this);
            _rubberband = new QRubberBand(QRubberBand::Rectangle, parent);
        }

          @michalos said in Mouse cursor changes to 'resize' on inner widgets:

          QEvent::Leave:

          When you move away from the widget, QEvent::Leave should show its debug. ?
          Else it wont be reset again. it seems.

            @mrjj But the QEvent::Leave only happens when I leave the widget.
            The error occurs on the child widgets, so I don't get the QEvent::Leave.
            I don't get any debug info, when the error occurs.

              When the cursor chances. is the _cursorchanged then true?

                @mrjj Yes. The _cursorchanged = true and I get a QEvent::CursorChange.
                Do you think it could be because of thin side borders?
                I did a test and also added a debug message when any event occures. It's like once in two three tries the _cursorchanged variable is not switched to false

                This is how the window looks like. I needet to do a photo with my phone, because with a standard print-screen the mouse cursor wasn't visible.

                  Do you think it could be because of thin side borders?

                  Well if it tries to detect the cursor leaving such small area, then yes.
                  Its very possible to skip a mouse pos now and then.
                  I made an app where i detected mouse moving out of app.
                  If i did it fast enough, sometimes it would not see it.

                  Can u test by making border much bigger?

                    @mrjj I've made the borders bigger and the problem stoped. So this seemst to be the source of the problem.
                    Fortunately I have only two child widgets, and both are custom, so I've just added a signal to their enterEvent() and connected the signal to a slot in the resizing class, that resets the mouse cursors shape.
                    Thank You so much for your help. I wouldn't have solved it on my own.
