QTextEdit - not accepting keyboard inputs

[jakubd]

Hello,
I am having trouble with a qtextedit. When I create a popup windown, I add a few of them. Unfortunately non of them accept any input from the keyboard. Anyone have any ideas? I commented out the things I tried to make it work, as a sort of trail and error method since I couldnt think of anything else to do.

QWidget* popUpNewDate;
QPlainTextEdit* cityInputForAddingDate;
QDateEdit* dateChoiceForAddingDate;
QComboBox* venueChoiceForAddingDate;
QComboBox* titleChoiceForAddingDate;
void eventsOverview::on_addDateButton_clicked()
{

    popUpNewDate = new QWidget(this, Qt::Popup);
    popUpNewDate->setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
    QRect rect = QStyle::alignedRect(layoutDirection(), Qt::AlignBottom, QSize(width()/2, height()/2), geometry());
    popUpNewDate->setGeometry(rect);

    QVBoxLayout* layoutVer1 = new QVBoxLayout(popUpNewDate);
    QHBoxLayout* layoutHor1 = new QHBoxLayout();
    QHBoxLayout* layoutHor2 = new QHBoxLayout();
    QHBoxLayout* layoutHor3 = new QHBoxLayout();
    QHBoxLayout* layoutHor4 = new QHBoxLayout();
    QHBoxLayout* layoutHor5 = new QHBoxLayout();

    QLabel* cityLabel = new QLabel("City name: ");
    cityInputForAddingDate = new QPlainTextEdit("-- CHOOSE CITY --");
    cityInputForAddingDate->setMaximumHeight(30);
    cityInputForAddingDate->grabKeyboard();
    cityInputForAddingDate->ensureCursorVisible();
    cityInputForAddingDate->setAcceptDrops(true);
   // cityInputForAddingDate->setAcceptRichText(true);
    //cityInputForAddingDate->setTextInteractionFlags(Qt::TextSelectableByMouse | Qt::TextSelectableByKeyboard);
    //cityInputForAddingDate->setFocus();
    //cityInputForAddingDate->setTabChangesFocus(true);
    //cityInputForAddingDate->setReadOnly(false);

    QLabel* dateLabel = new QLabel("Date name: ");
    dateChoiceForAddingDate = new QDateEdit();
    dateChoiceForAddingDate->setMinimumWidth(400);
    QDate* startingDate = new QDate(2022, 9, 1);
    dateChoiceForAddingDate->setDate(*startingDate);
    dateChoiceForAddingDate->setDisplayFormat(QString("dd.mm.yyyy"));

    QPushButton* preloadVenuesButton = new QPushButton("PRELOAD VENUES");
    preloadVenuesButton->setMaximumWidth(150);
    venueChoiceForAddingDate = new QComboBox();
    venueChoiceForAddingDate->setMaximumWidth(250);
    venueChoiceForAddingDate->addItem(QString("-- PRELOAD VENUES --"));

    QLabel* titleChoiceLabel = new QLabel("Title: ");
    titleChoiceForAddingDate = new QComboBox();
    titleChoiceForAddingDate->addItem(QString("-- CHOOSE TITLE --"));
 
    QPushButton* saveButton = new QPushButton("SAVE");

    layoutHor1->addWidget(cityLabel);
    layoutHor1->addWidget(cityInputForAddingDate);

    layoutHor2->addWidget(dateLabel);
    layoutHor2->addWidget(dateChoiceForAddingDate);

    layoutHor3->addWidget(preloadVenuesButton);
    layoutHor3->addWidget(venueChoiceForAddingDate);

    layoutHor4->addWidget(titleChoiceLabel);
    layoutHor4->addWidget(titleChoiceForAddingDate);

    layoutHor5->addWidget(saveButton);

    layoutVer1->addLayout(layoutHor1, 0);
    layoutVer1->addLayout(layoutHor2, 0);
    layoutVer1->addLayout(layoutHor3, 0);
    layoutVer1->addLayout(layoutHor4, 0);
    layoutVer1->addLayout(layoutHor5, 0);

    popUpNewDate->show();

    connect(preloadVenuesButton, &QPushButton::clicked, this, &eventsOverview::preloadingVenues);
    connect(saveButton,&QPushButton::clicked,this, &eventsOverview::addingDate);

}

Hi,

You should provide minimal compilable example that shows that behaviour.
Also, which version of Qt are you using ?
On which OS ?

Finally, in this code you are leaking QDate objects.
The same goes of the widgets you create in that function. Each time you call it a new set of them will be created without deleting the old ones.
