Sub menu opening on wrong mouse button click in Qt5 (5.5.1) (on Windows (7?)?)?

racoon

Just installed Qt 5.6. Programs still use the version they used to use (5.5.1).

(So I cannot test it myself.)

You can replace the dll's in your program folder by the one provided by the installer.

@SGaist Does not work either. The program just starts to complain about missing dlls, like libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

Isn't there a simpler way to test qt sub menus? Like an example application that contains already all the dlls and has sub menus?

SGaist

You can build and run the Menus Example example

@SGaist As I said, I am not a developer. The Menus Example example seems to me not self-explanatory. What are the steps to build and run it?

SGaist

Launch Qt Creator
On the welcome screen select Examples
In the search file, put Menus
Click on it
Configure the project with the default provided
Click the run arrow

@SGaist Thanks for the instruction. I have tried it in Qt5.6 and the bug still persists. I have not tried beta Qt5.7. Is there any reason to think that the bug is fixed?

SGaist

I don't know whether there's been work done on that part but it's worth a try.

@SGaist I have found no the betas (http://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/5.7/5.7.0-beta/). Do you know which one should I install for Windows 7 64bit?

SGaist

What about all the qt-opensource-windows-x86-XXX ?

racoon

@SGaist I would have thought that one of them would be enough. Also some say something about Android in addition. Isn't that a phone OS?

Anyway, I have now installed and tested and the bug is still there. If I write up the details of the bug would you be able to file a report or tell me how that is done?

SGaist

One is enough, but on Windows you have several versions of Visual Studio that you can use and they are not compatible one with the other and there's also MinGW without forgetting 32 vs 64 bit. That's why there are several packages.

Android does more than just phones. Qt has been ported to Android since several years (also iOS for that matter).

You can do it on the bug report system
