[Qt4-preview-feedback] [Fwd: Qt 4.5/Cocoa QWhatsThis text initially appears behind modal QDialogs]

[Martin Dyde]

Thanks Trenton & co for this one too.

QWhatsThis seems to be fixed and working properly now in 
qt-all-commercial-src-4.5.0-snapshot-20090205.tar.gz.

Hello Trenton and co.,

We use QWhatsThis text as a part of our application's online help system.

Using the Qt 4.5/Cocoa builds (all builds and snapshots so far, 
including qt-all-commercial-src-4.5.0-snapshot-20090113), if a user 
enters 'what's this' mode on a modal dialog, the QWhatsThis text usually 
appears behind the dialog initially, i.e. can't be read.  (Although 
subsequently entering and leaving 'what's this' mode a few times usually 
eventually makes the text reappear on top.)

To reproduce the issue, edit 
$QTDIR/examples/dialogs/findfiles/window.cpp, find the function 
Window::browse(), and completely replace it with:

void Window::browse()
{
    QDialog*    dlg = new QDialog(this);
    dlg->resize( 200, 100 );
    dlg->setWhatsThis("some fairly long test what's this text, which 
normally appears behind the QDialog");
    dlg->exec();
}

Build and run, click on the Browse button, Ctrl+click on the popup 
dialog, select 'What's this'.  The text usually appears behind the QDialog.

I have built Qt with:

./configure -prefix $PWD -platform macx-g++ -arch x86_64

Thanks and best regards,
