Hiding MainWindow on OS X freezes the GUI
-
I've encountered a very strange problem on my MacBook Pro which is running OS X 10.6.8. When hiding a simple application with a MainWindow and a text field (by hitting CMD - H, or going to the top menu and pressing Hide MyApp) the GUI freezes. I have to minimize and maximize it (button on the MainWindow) to get the GUI to become responsive again.
What I did to get this behavior was simply create a new project in QT (5.2.1) Widget Application with a MainWindow drag a QLineEdit inside the form then build it. I then deploy it using: /Users/maharajah/Qt/5.2.1/clang_64/bin/macdeployqt MyApp.app
and sending it over to my MacBook Pro. When then hiding the window the GUI freezes.
I am unable to get the same behavior on my iMac which is running 10.8.4, however my iMac has QT installed.
Any ideas here?

Update:
I can verify that clicks on for example a simple button are still being received. To test this is connected the click event up with a method that just qDebug() << "Button clicked....";
However the interface is completely frozen.
Also qApp->processEvents() has no effect.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
What version of Xcode are you using ?
Also, since 5.3 is out now, can you test if you still encounter this issue with it ?

Then it looks like it's a Snow Leopard specific bug. You should check the "bug report system":http://bugreports.qt-project.org to see if something known.
