Beep when spacebar pressed

Kevin Lussier

Hello all.

I have what I hope is a simple question to answer. If I have a window with only a button in it, and if I hit the tab key to set the focus to the button, and if I then hit the spacebar, my onClicked() gets properly called. However, I also get a beep. Now, I can understand a beep if I don't have the focus set to the button - it would indicate that I've done something wrong (i.e. no action can be taken because no control has the focus). But why do I get the beep if I'm on the button? And, more importantly, how do I make it so that it doesn't beep?

Here's a very simple app to demonstrate:

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0

ApplicationWindow {
    title: "Why the Beep?"
    width: 170
    height: 60
    visible: true

    Button {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: "Press Me"
        onClicked: console.log("Button clicked.");
    }
}

Any help is appreciated :-)

Which platform you trying this ?

Oh, sorry. I should have specified. This is Qt 5.7 running on Mac.

I just tested on Windows and there is no beep.

Strange. It happens with an empty window, but only with Qt 5.7 - not with Qt 5.6.

import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window {
    width: 200
    height: 200
    visible: true
}

Same results (beeps with 5.7, not with 5.6) with a plain minimal Qt Gui C++ app without Qt Widgets nor Qt Quick at all.

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWindow window;
    window.show();
    return app.exec();
}

Looks like the issue has been fixed in Qt 5.7.1.
