<![CDATA[Qt application does not terminate when QFileDialog is used]]>Hi everyone,

I'm stuck in a weird behavior in Qt.

I have a Qt project in windows where as soon as I use
@QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames@

then, exit the application, and the process keeps running in windows.
This problem only occurs when I use Qt5.1.0-32bit in my 64bit PC.

Everything works perfectly in Qt5.1.0-64 bit.

I've tried to reinstall microsoft redistributable without success
(I'm using VS2010 for 32 bit and VS2012 for 64 bit)

I've also tried to call:
@QApplication::exit(0);@

but the application process does not stop.

This is the stack once I exit the application and pause the debugger:

Does anyone know where this error comes from?
Is this a bug?

Thank you very much!

I just edited the post.

This is the link to the bug report:
"https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34790":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34790

[quote]I already had VS2010 installed.[/quote]Original version, or SP1?

I already had VS2010 SP1 (edited) installed. I never wondered why the window gets hidden after a QFileDialog is used. But I realised that you can quickly fix it raising your QWidget:
@
QStringList list = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames();
this->raise();
@
However it is not very fancy because the window gets hidden and then it comes to the top. I do not know of a better fix.

The queued signal connection did not solve my problem...
I'll then file a bug report.

Thank you very much for all your help!

I tried your example on MSVC 2012 x64 on Windows 8.1, and it quit properly. (However, when I closed the dialog, the main window also gets hidden behind Qt Creator. I think this is a bug).

There have been other issues with Qt dialogs before (e.g. https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32821 ), but I don't know if your issue is related. This workaround helped me; you can try it:

Rename your slot from on_pushButton_clicked() to something else, like openDialog().

#In your MainWindow Constructor, make an explicit queued connection:
@
connect(ui->pushButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(openDialog()), Qt::QueuedConnection);
@

Anyway, have you installed the Service Pack 1 for MSVC 2010? It came with some "bug fixes for the C++ compiler":http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983509 -- perhaps it was an issue with the MSVC compiler.

Note: The SP1 installer has its quirks. If I remember correctly, I have to uninstall all VC++ 2010 Redistributables first.

If these still doesn't resolve your issue, file a report at http://bugreports.qt-project.org/ (and attach your example one a .zip file, not a DropBox link)

@
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked(){
QStringList list = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames();
}
@

I compile with VS2010 32 bit (Qt 5.1.1), press the button, click cancel on the filedialog and exit. And I have the same problem running on debug and release the call stack when I pause is the same, stopping at:

@
0 NtWaitForMultipleObjects ntdll32 0x7731015d
@

Everything works fine with the 64 bit version (VS2012).
I've tried this in my 2 PC's running Windows 7 64 bits.

The example is available "HERE":https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ryt2qi31859y3gl/2Pt4WWsG7u
This must be either a problem with my 2 computers or a Qt bug...

Thank you very much for your help,

I can't think of anything at this point. Can you post a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable Example":http://sscce.org/? I'm happy to investigate a bit if you provide sample code.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I've just installed and tried the latest Qt 5.1.1 VS2010 OpenGL 32 bits and I have the same problem. When I pause in debug mode, it shows the same stack.

Any hints?

Thank you,

Can you try again with Qt 5.1.1? It is fully backward-compatible with Qt 5.1.0 with many bug fixes.
