BUG: keyReleaseEvent does not fire if focus changed to child widget

[ieprov]

here is video
https://dump.video/i/JkNLyYhO.mp4

i am catching global window keys and pressing a key.
Then I switch focus to child widget, and as you can see window no longer receives key release event.

With this bug I cannot create a custom shortcut implementation

How exactly? Please show the code.

[ieprov]

@jsulm overriding of virtual event() method of top widget (aka window)

[jsulm]

@ieprov I think for your use case you need to install an event filter. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/eventsandfilters.html

[ieprov]

@jsulm nope. Event filter filters event before passing it to .event()
but as you can see in the video there is NO key release event at all, only key press.

installEventFilter on window handle (QWindow) do not receive events when I clicked to MenuBar.

but events exist in QApplication.notify()

it seems like if keyPressed and then QWindow was changed to opened QMenu, no keyRelease was emiited to previous QWindow.
