[Qt-interest] drawRect()/fillRect() not working at qt-4.5.0?

[Ole Streicher]

Hi,

is there anything buggy with drawRect at qt-4.5.0? I have the following
(python) code:

------------------------8<-----------------------------------------------
from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore

class MyRubberBand(QtGui.QRubberBand):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        QtGui.QRubberBand.__init__(self, QtGui.QRubberBand.Line, parent)
        self.setColor(QtGui.QColor('Yellow'))

    def paintEvent(self, event):
        painter = QtGui.QPainter(self)
        painter.setPen(self.pen)
        painter.setBrush(self.brush)
        painter.drawRect(self.rect())
#        painter.fillRect(self.rect(), self.brush)

    def setColor(self, color):
        self.pen = QtGui.QPen(color, 2)
        bcolor = QtGui.QColor(color)
        bcolor.setAlpha(128)
        self.brush = QtGui.QBrush(bcolor)
------------------------8<-----------------------------------------------

With qt-4.4.3 (openSUSE 11.1), I get what I expected: a yellow
rubberband that is filled with some transparency.

However, with qt-4.5.0 (kubuntu 9.04), only the rectangle frame is
displayed. The transparent filling is not displayed. Explicite filling
doesnt help either.

Is this a bug in qt or in my code?

Although my code is Qt I suspect that the problem will be in my
understanding of Qt, or in Qt itself, not in python -- that's why I am
posting here. 

Best regards 

Ole
