[Solved] Problem with QComboBox and Focus

[Saugglocke]

Hey,

I'm trying to make a simple text editor. I'm using a QGraphicsView, QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsTextItem for this. Changing the font properties, like bold, italic, and so on is done via QToolButtons. If the user clicked on one of the buttons the new font is handed over to the text item and the focus is going back to it, which is working great.
In order to change the font size, I created a QComboBox with some point sizes. Everything is working except the refocus to the text item, if no text is selected.

So in my opinion the combo box somehow manages to regain the focus from the text item.

Any ideas how I'm able to circumvent the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

matthias

Edit: Here is a minimal example, I'm using Qt 5.1.1
main.cpp
@#include "mainwindow.hpp"
#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();

return a.exec();

}@

mainwindow.hpp

class QGraphicsTextItem;

{

public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();

public slots:
void changeFont(const QString &);

private:
QGraphicsView *view;
QGraphicsTextItem *text;
};

Solved it, by setting the focus policy of the combo box to Qt::NoFocus.
