Hi Frederik,
thanks for the reply!
I've created a bug report here:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-35051
It includes some example code to play with. It got assigned to Alan Alpert,
so maybe you could change that if necessary.
I know it's tricky once all items are disabled. In the bug report I've
suggested this:
Plan A: move focus to the next child item with activeFocusOnTab and enabled
set to true
Plan B: if no such items were found, try moving active focus to the next
item in the "tab chain".
Best regards,
Ola
