[Bug] Why QDialog display empty rarely.

[brucezcg]

Any one can help?

without any code it's like guessing the number of water drops in the Atlantic ocean.

@brucezcg Can you also show how you create the dialog and show it?
If the dialog is empty then most probably your event loop is blocked.

[brucezcg]

@VRonin The phenomena is strange, in the empty status, although I couldn't see the controls(such as the switch button) but if I move mouse to the position of the button(it should be), all the controls will turn to display.

[brucezcg]

Just like the dialog doesn't call paint() automatically.

[brucezcg]

@jsulm Thanks.

I create the dialog in a Wdiget's constructor function like this.
{
……
mDialogBank = new DlgBank(this);
}

//Click button display the dialog.
void Wgt_Tuning::on_btnBank_clicked()
{
//Display the dialog.
if (QDialog::Accepted == mDialogBank->exec()) {
}
}

[jsulm]

@brucezcg On which platform do you have this behaviour?
You also could try to run through debugger and check the stack trace when this happens.

[brucezcg]

@jsulm Qt 5.12.3 mingw7 32bit.
This phenomena is never occur on my PC, It occurred on my college's PC rarely.

[jsulm]

@brucezcg What is the OS on that PC and graphics driver?

[brucezcg]

@jsulm Win10 & Intel HD Graphics 520

[jsulm]

@brucezcg Try to update the graphics driver.

[brucezcg]

@jsulm But this is very rarely. most of the time the dialog display well.

[mrjj]

@brucezcg
Hi
maybe a rare driver bug. :)

In any case, if possible you should test if a new driver helps on your college's PC.

[brucezcg]

@mrjj Thanks for the reply, and I try to use QWidget instead of QDialog.
