New SplitView: trouble when shrinking

Kai Nickel

This snippet shows what I believe is a plain use-case for the new SplitView from Controls 2:

import QtQuick.Controls 2.13

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    SplitView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        orientation: Qt.Horizontal
        Control {
            SplitView.minimumWidth: 300
            background: Rectangle { color: "blue" }
        }
        Control {
            SplitView.minimumWidth: 300
            background: Rectangle { color: "green" }
        }
    }
}

Now move the split handle to the right as far as possible, then make the application window smaller.

Note that SplitView does not care at all that the constraints are still met when the size of the SplitView reduces. The right child (including the split handle) can be moved outside the visible area completely.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

You are right, I had same problem and I think SplitView has lots of bugs

I solved the problem with this

import QtQuick 2.13
import QtQuick.Controls 2.13

ApplicationWindow {
    width: 300
    height: 300
    visible: true
    SplitView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        orientation: Qt.Horizontal
        Control {
            id: control1
            SplitView.minimumWidth: 10
            SplitView.maximumWidth : parent.width - control2.width
            background: Rectangle { color: "blue" }
        }
        Control {
            id: control2
            SplitView.minimumWidth: 10
            background: Rectangle { color: "green" }
        }
    }
}

Don't know better solution!
it seems SplitView has lots of bugs

Thank you, that looks like a good workaround! However, I share your view that the new SplitView still has way to go before it can be used without issues...
