Can't dock a dock widget on the right?

Perdrix

I have this in my ui/StackingDlg.h

dockWidget->setFeatures(QDockWidget::DockWidgetFloatable|QDockWidget::DockWidgetMovable);
dockWidget->setAllowedAreas(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea|Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
:
StackingDlg->addDockWidget(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea, dockWidget);

I can float the dock widget and redock it at the bottom by d-clicking its title, and I can dock it at the bottom by dragging it there, but I don't seem to be able to can't dock it on the right by dragging it there.

What have I missed?

The code looks correct.
Which Qt Version are you using? A lot of work on dock widgets (incl. area permissions) has been done in 6.4.

Perdrix

I'm using 6.4.0

Thanks, I'll look into it right away and get back to you.
It appears to me, that you have found a bug.

Further information:

I enabled all dock widget areas. I can dock at the top or bottom, but not left or right :(. I added a debug out to report the result of isAreaAllowed for the right hand area and this is what it said:

isAreaAllowed(Qt::RightDockWidgetArea): true

That's a bug I am afraid. If you allow, I'll copy your findings in a Jira ticket.

Perdrix

Yes please do so. Any idea when a fix might make it out into the wild?

Have fun fixing it 😇
Thanks

I struggle to reproduce that one.
Could you post your entire code?
To be sure, could you also test our dock widgets example? The paragraphs dock widget is able to dock at any dock.

I will look at producing a simple test case tomorrow.

Perdrix

Test case available. Where would you like it uploaded - can you point me to the open problem report?
