<![CDATA[How to ignore click that closes/hides the contextual menu ?]]>Hello,

I am facing a problem where an event is processed when I left click to exit from the contextual menu.

  1. Right click -> Contextual menu appears
  2. Left click anywhere but on any contextual action -> the contextual menu disappears as expected
  3. That left click is processed as a standard left click and initiate some stuff I don't want, I just wanted to exit from contextual menu.

How can I prevent from that ?

Thank you!

So the issue is that clicking outside the context popup menu does close the menu but ALSO triggers
an action just as if user clicked directly on it ?

Please make a small default GUI project and try it there so we are sure its not
something in your code that does it. :)

It is a QWidget that handle a plotter paint area where we draw curves.
The left click starts to edit the curve as a normal left click would do but that particular left click was just supposed to close/hide the contextual menu and nothing more.

What does happen ?
On what kind of widget does it happen ?
What OS ?
What Qt version ?
