QLineEdit on OSX and the initial cursor position problem

[ronM71]

I am experiencing a strange phenomenon with Qt 4.7.4 (was present in earlier versions too). Sometimes, when I click on an empty QLineEdit to bring it to focus, the cursor will start blinking on the right hand side of the edit-box (as if typing RTL). Only after the first key press and the first character appearing, it will "jump" to the left, positioning itself after the character I just typed. It this some kind of RTL/LTR confusion? should I specify something more explicitly?

I can imagine what you mean, but that never happened to me. Are you using the Cocoa or the Carbon version for the Mac?

[ronM71]

Cocoa. I can hide the issue by enforcing and then removing content from the empty QLineEdit... but I was hoping for a mode elegant solution.

[goetz]

Really strange. Did you search in the bugtracker already?

[ronM71]

Will do today. If it doesn't exist I'll see if I can submit a new one with "video evidence"
