[Qt-interest] QLineEdit loosing its selection

[Oliver Demetz]

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!

I found that the origin of the described behaviour is the loosing of the 
focus of my lineedit. So what iI did for testing purposes was to 
override the VirtualKeyboardLineEdit::focusOutEvent() and I 
(accidentally) forgot to call QLineEdit::focusOutEvent() there.

But this just realised what I wanted!

Now the text cursor keeps blinking when the Virtual Keyboard is open and 
the selection is not removed.

Thanks to you all,
best regards,
Oliver
