QMenu popup does not work on Linux
-
I am using QMenu popup to show a popup list of entries on the click of a button (QToolButton). It works fine on windows but on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), I get QPainter invalid errors whenever the button is clicked and no menu gets displayed. The Linux machine login is done from a Windows 10/7 machine using MobaXTerm through SSH and then running a local XMing on windows. Then, starting up the application using ./app.out starts and the GUI gets displayed (working absolutely fine, identical to Windows). However, on clicking the QToolButton, no menu gets displayed, on console I see messages about invalid QPainter. What is wrong? Is the problem with the setup itself?

@ajaxcrypto Is it working if you start the app directly on the Linux machine without SSH?

On running directly on Ubuntu 16.04 with Qt 5.9.0, I can see the popup but I cannot see any entries/text in them, though clicking on them works (only a white blank popup comes). In console I see lots of "Painter not active" and "Unbalanced save/restore" messages. I am not overriding paint method for either the button or the menu.

@ajaxcrypto Strange. Do any Qt app packaged by Ubuntu work? For example VLC.

VLC is working fine. But any QMenu instance whether it is context menu or QToolButton menu, comes blank without any text for it and throws a series of invalid QPainter errors.
