[Qt-interest] slot seems to die when widget is in motion

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Deepak, 
 
I found the same thing in 4.4 running on WinXP, and worse - it affects
timers in all threads - not just the gui thread!  It seems all of the Qt
timers are event based, and events are not delivered during window drag, and
window resize actions. 
 
So if you want accurate timers, you have to use platform specific code.
Yuk!  :O( 
 
Tony.

I have a slot in my custom widget. This custom widget is placed on the main
window (another Widget)
The custom widget keeps on receiving some messages from an external source. 

I see that when the main window is dragged or moved, the custom widget stops
receiving the messages via he slot

Once I stop moving the main window, custom widget starts receiving the
messages again.

Its as though the slot gets disabled while in motion, has anyone else faced
the same issue.



regards
