Qt Designer won't let me drag and drop widgets from Widget Box
-
Hello all,
I am using Qt Designer 4.7.3 and has the following annoying bug.
I open some form (dialog) but when i try to drag and drop widgets (any of them) from the widget box to my dialog it ignores me. I cannot start the drag.
Anyone has some workaround for this problem? I can reproduce this pretty easy and my co-workers can also.

I am using win 7 64 bit. I have tried it out. It's working on my machine.
- I have created dialog box with buttons.
- Drag and drop works.
- Created dialog without buttons.
- Drag and drop works.
- Saved both boxes.
- Closed them.
- Closed designer.
- Opened designer.
- Opened dialogs.
- Drag and drop works as well.
I checked, I was using version 4.7.3 of designer.
Do you use dialog boxes created with a previous?
May be there is the problem. -
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, just found this searching for a solution to the same problem. Thought I could post the solution I found for others that also find this when searching for the answer. :)
I was using Qt Designer for Qt Jambi built with Qt 4.6.4 on Windows 7 x64 when this problem occurred. After a while I realized that the problem was not only in Qt designer, but in Windows in general: Explorer, FileZilla and more.
The solution was then found by searching for general "Windows 7 drag and drop problems":http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/drag-and-drop-not-working-in-windows-7/f6dcfa11-8c51-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5.
In short: Select a file in Windows Explorer with click and hold left mouse button. While holding the button down, hit the Esc key. Then drag and drop starts working again.

This feels like a bug in Qt Designer. I has been happening to me, every time I close Designer when pressing Escape or when I cancel out of a selection or dialog with Escape. It feels really bad. And I can fix it using the tricks mentioned here, but has anyone reported it?
I never noticed this in earlier versions of Qt. Is anyone against me reporting this bug?

Running Qt Designer 4.0.1 (MSVC2013, 32 bit) on Windows 7. I still have the same problem with the drag and drop.
The trick which involves clicking ESC in Windows Explorer works for a short moment, until I select a different widget. It's really annoying.
