[Interest] Pan text in QPlainTextEdit with one finger?

[Igor Mironchik]

Hi.

In QPlainTextEdit::event( QEvent * e )

I've found the next code:

#ifndefQT_NO_GESTURES

     else  if  (e->type()  ==  QEvent::Gesture)  {

         QGestureEvent  *ge  =  static_cast<QGestureEvent  *>(e);

         QPanGesture  *g  =  static_cast<QPanGesture  *>(ge->gesture(Qt::PanGesture));

         if  (g)  {

             QScrollBar  *hBar  =  horizontalScrollBar();

             QScrollBar  *vBar  =  verticalScrollBar();

             if  (g->state()  ==  Qt::GestureStarted)

                 d->originalOffsetY  =  vBar->value();

             QPointF  offset  =  g->offset();

             if  (!offset.isNull())  {

                 if  (QApplication::isRightToLeft())

                     offset.rx()  *=  -1;

                 //  QPlainTextEdit  scrolls  by  lines  only  in  vertical  direction

                 QFontMetrics  fm(document()->defaultFont());

                 int  lineHeight  =  fm.height();

                 int  newX  =  hBar->value()  -  g->delta().x();

                 int  newY  =  d->originalOffsetY  -  offset.y()/lineHeight;

                 hBar->setValue(newX);

                 vBar->setValue(newY);

             }

         }

         return  true;

     }

#endif  //  QT_NO_GESTURES

It told to me that QPlainTextEdit should support "pan gesture" and text should be paned with
fingers. But in my test app when I move finger in QPlainTextEdit I receive selection of the text.
And I saw that in event( QEvent * e ) method appear QEvent::InputMethodQuery event instead of
QEvent::Gesture.

But with two fingers I receive sometimes QEvent::Gesture and text scrolled but in wrong direction.
It's ugly to not to have scrolling with one finger. May be we should post suggestion to the
bugreports.qt-project.org?

Any ideas?!
