That definitely sounds like a bug to me at your end.   I've only used the
integer version of the signal, and I've never got double signals like that.
In my sources (C:\qt\4.8.3\src\gui\widgets\qcombobox.cpp(1258)), the two
different signals are always sent together, so you should only get one as
well.  I've used most versions since 4.3.  

What is your configuration, version, OS, etc? 
Are you supplying your own model to the combo box? 
Do the Qt test programs have the same problem - I assume there must be one
with a slot for either of these signals?

Tony.
