progressbar maximum and minumum problem

[artwaw]

@barisdemirbas @JonB is absolutely right, it is the progress bar's resolution issue. The progress get's rounded it during that 99% step is "lost". Either increase granularity/"resolution" of your values to produce more refined steps or otherwise transform your calculations.

I am very sure that if you try to calculate the percentage of the progress yourself (and put it to debug) using the problematic values you'd notice that it also "skips" the 99th percentile.

@JonB thank you.

Example 1: progress bar behaves not properly, jumps to %98 from %100 after 20 clicks, I see %99 only one time.(I still see 100% after 19 clicks.)
Example 2: progress bar works perfect, I see %98 after 20 click of button. I see %99 20 times.
Same size for both examples.(10000)

Progress bar values are same (9925) for both examples. Size is also same(10000). But example 1 displays %100, examples 2 displays %99 for same progress bar value(9925).

I think maximum value assigning cause a problem.

@barisdemirbas
If your findings are correct (I don't intend to go test out) then I agree they are "surprising". After one decrement Example #1 should be in the same state as Example #2.

• Divide all by 5 (range: 2000, decrement -= 1). Any different?
• Divide by 100 (range 100, decrement -= 1). Any different?

Depending on your findings, either live with adjusting your range/value/decrement or report as Qt bug.

@JonB thank you.

If range is 2000 and decrement -=1 same situation occurs and progress bar behaves not properly.
If range is 300 and decrement -=1 same situation occurs and progress bar behaves not properly.
If range is 100 and decrement -=1 progress bar works properly. (This situation there is one step from %100 to %99 , so we have no problem.)

I will report this as Qt bug.

Best regards.

Please add the Qt version you to the bugreport.

[barisdemirbas]

@Robert-Loehning

Sorry for late reply. Issue was closed.

my qt version is "5.11.1"

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@barisdemirbas Provide the information there. Also please add a minimal, compilable example to the bug report.

As I mentioned above, qprogress bar does not work properly when I assign the maximum or minimum value.
example : click "go to %100" button. After click decrease button you will see progress bar begins at maximum value(1000) ,it passes %99 and jump to %98. directly. Same situation occurs after click "go to %0". I can not add zip or any file to here so i share code below.

And as I said - please add it to your bugreport. Also please add the missing information (e.g. about this Qt version @Robert-Loehning asked you for). The forum is not a bug tracker.
And you're missing the ui file - better to not use a ui file at all but create the layout in the code.

@Christian-Ehrlicher

I added it to bugreport.

Thank you.
