Right click not working in form designer

[MJ02]

Please could I have some assistance I am trying to right click on a push button to get to the signals and slots menu but nothing happens when I right click

You need to click on Edit Signals/Slots button in the upper toolbar.
See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/designer-editing-mode.html

Thank you for the response but I am looking for the context menu. When you right click on the push button it should give an option to go to Slot then create the function:

Are you saying you do not get what you show, which looks correct?
If so, platform and Creator version?

[MJ02]

Yip I do not get the above. I get nothing

Do you not think you will need to provide this information if anyone is to help?

Just in case, have you tried a brand new project? Are you saying elements other than QPushButton do show correctly?

I just tested on macOS and Windows 11 with Qt Creator 13.0.1 and it worked just fine for a CMake Hello Widgets project.

Please do create a bug report with the details.

Turns out, I cannot right click on any of the external screens, it only works on the laptop screen.
Dragged Qt back to the laptop screen and it behaves as normal.
Thank you for the feedback :)

Sounds like a high-dpi issue in some way. Is this a high dpi monitor by any chance?

Right-clicking in the designer does not show popup menus - nothing happens, but only on external monitors. I don't know what pop-up menus are supposed to show, but many do when Qt Creator is on the laptop screen.

Make sure you're in "Edit" mode in Qt Designer or Creator. If right-click isn't working, try using the Object Inspector or just hit Ctrl+Shift+S to open the signals/slots editor directly. Should do the trick!

@MJ02 Hi, this just happened to me as well, I had spent 2-3h looking into the problem, I was literally going insane, reinstalling everything, etc. Your comment here was a life saver! I would not have thought of it.. So... Have a very good day!!!

It seems that this is still an issue in Qt Creator/Designer, version 17.0.0 on Linux Ubuntu 22.04.

I can select multiple controls in the designer, but I can only add them to a layout in the Object Inspector because right-clicking on the selected controls shows no context menu.

(Edit: I'm not sure if this happens all the time or only under special circumstances -- will try to set up a small test.)

Has anyone submitted a bug report about this yet?

I got same issue with Qt Creator which version is 17.0.1, it works on my laptop 2.5K screen, but can't work on my extended screen @1920x1080.
