Is there a real difference ?

Both slots run when "enter" is pressed on empty lineEdit widget, as they should according to the document.
I am curious if somebody can come up with a reason for using one or the other.

No, I do not have an issue or problem with it.

void Form_SYSTEM::on_lineEdit_70_editingFinished()
{
     qDebug() << ("on_lineEdit_70_editingFinished()"); // << currentText;
}


void Form_SYSTEM::on_lineEdit_70_returnPressed()
{
    qDebug() << ("on_lineEdit_70_returnPressed()"); // << currentText;
}

Looking at the docs, the only difference I see :

editingFinished()
This signal is emitted when the Return or Enter key is pressed or the line edit loses focus

Logically this implies that returnPressed is not emitted on focus lost.
Not tested :)

@AnneRanch

If you press any key except Return returnPressed is not emitted, but editingFinished is, when you stop entering input to your lineEdit.

@Pl45m4 How is it detested ? Perhaps "loosing focus " ? Easy to tets in my app - will do it.
