I've experienced the same symptom (but was not able to diagnose why) using
both QSerialPort and QExtSerialPort.
If the window was dragged extensively, data loss would occur (characters
would be unrecoverably lost).
But the serial protocol had disabled any form of flow control (e.g.
XON/XOFF, or hardware).
So I blamed the problem on using a fragile serial protocol.  Was this
correct?
If not, how are we supposed to use QSerialPort / QExtSerialPort reliably in
a GUI app?

Thanks,
