[Interest] Can't get menu with QWidgetAction to close after click! (Mac OS 10.6.8, Qt 4.8.3)

[Alex Malyushytskyy]

By the way try to call   QAction->trigger();
in _onPushButton(bool b)

If MAC implementation depends on this signal it definitely should
solve the problem.
By default QWidgetAction does not call it:

"Note that it is up to the widget to activate the action, for example
by reimplementing mouse event handlers and calling
QAction::trigger()."
