Bug in Qt 5.12 drag n'drop ?

In addition, I don't want anything. I just signal a possible bug. That's all.

[aha_1980]

@skylendar thats why we need a simple program, trimmed down to the actual problem.

Otherwise its hard to track down where the bug is. Until now it is not even proven that Qt is guilty.

@aha_1980

This is not a matter of guilt or not. We are not in an american thriller.
And besides, how do you explain that my app works fine with qt5.11 and below, but not with qt5.12 ?

And you forget something: Qt is actually a commercial program, and most of you, if not all, are paid for debugging it. Why should I work for you for free ?

Actually this is a user forums and no one here is paid anything to help :)
We are not employees, but ordinary users of Qt.

Anyway, i tried some of old drag drop sample with Qt 5.12 and
they seems to work. At least on windows.

If you happen to own a commercial license you should contact the customer support they may be able to help you more directly.

However they also will ask for a minimal compileable project, if your current project is considerably too large.
Alternatively there is also the option of paid consulting either from the QtCompany directly or other companies, like for example KDAB

Who has a linux dnd program which can be tested ?

@skylendar
Hi
What about test with the sample that comes with Qt ?
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/dnd.html#examples
There are often directly available in Creator.

@mrjj

Found the puzzle in the examples. It works, but in my case the draggable widget is placed in a QTreeWidget, not just an ordinary QWidget.

[mrjj]

Hi
well it its almost the same unless you used
QStandardItemModel::dropMimeData()
or something like that.

@mrjj

I can drag from my QTreeWidget, but I can't drop anymore my icon onto my QWidget target, whereas it worked in the previous version of qt (5.11).

Everything seems ok, but the dropEvent() method of my QWidget isn't activated (setAcceptDrop() is set to true, of course)

[mrjj]

@skylendar
Check the
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-draganddrop-puzzle-example.html
as it drops from ListWidget to Widget.

@mrjj

But I already did that... The codes are very similar, but in my case it doesn't work anymore

The codes are very similar

So you should modify one of them until you hit or fix the problem...

[mrjj]

@skylendar
Ok but it does not seems Qt related then as those sample didn't change between
5.11 and 5.12 so if they still work it seems unlikely something broke on Qt level.

[skylendar]

@mrjj

On the contrary ! My code didn't change between 5.11 and 5.12, and suddenly it doesn't work...

[skylendar]

@Christian-Ehrlicher
it's exactly what I'm doing :-£

This does not prove that there is a bug in Qt (though there could be).
It could be a problem in your code which didn't cause issues with Qt 5.11 but does with Qt 5.12.
So, before saying there is a bug in Qt you should really prove that.

t prove that there is a bug in

I also have an Application which has a drag n'drop problem since I've updated to Qt 5.12.0 (macOS 10.14.2 Mojave). The eventFilter method is not called anymore with QEvent::Drop

Therefore I can not drop anything into my QLineEdit derived object...

// MyLineEdit is derived from QLineEdit

bool MyLineEdit::eventFilter(QObject* object, QEvent* event)
{

    if(m_droppable) {

        if(event->type() == QEvent::DragEnter) {
            event->accept();
        }

        // since Qt 5.12.0 the following condition is never true! 
        if(event->type() == QEvent::Drop) {
             // this line is never reached
             // ..
        }

    }
}

[Christian Ehrlicher]

This works fine with 5.11 and 5.12 on Linux:

class MyLineEdit : public QLineEdit
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    using QLineEdit::QLineEdit;

    bool eventFilter(QObject *object, QEvent *event)
    {
        if (event->type() == QEvent::DragEnter)
            event->accept();
        if (event->type() == QEvent::Drop)
            qDebug() << "Drop";
        return QLineEdit::eventFilter(object, event);
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MyLineEdit le;
    le.installEventFilter(&le);
    le.show();
    return app.exec();
}

#include "main.moc"

If it does not work on Mac please open a bug report.

/edit: There were some dnd changes between 5.11 and 5.12: 10b3286313c78fa380b5fe676a7c14f3ae84f017 - it works fine on Linux, did not yet test on windows and don't have a mac...
