    Can you spot any difference between the example and what you do in your application ?

        "not that different" can be a big can of worm ;)

            Ah, "robot" is based on a QGraphicsObject, which receives QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent , whereas my app is based on a mere QWidget, which receives a QDragEnterEvent

              And remember, my code works fine with qt5.11.x, and not with qt5.12.0

                Please provide a example - otherwise I don't see how we can spot the problem...

                  @Christian-Ehrlicher

                  Ok, in that case, get my open source app:
                  https://sourceforge.net/projects/skylendar/
                  and compile it with qt5.12.0
                  When compiled and running, drag the "Now" Dataset (on the left column) onto the window named "Standard wheel".

                  Then, the pointer becomes a barred red circle, instead of a black hand for dropping, i.e. dropping is impossible.

                  When compiled with 5.11 apparently nothing happens because the standard wheel already uses "Now", but it works...

                    I tried to run your app but I won't let something run as root on my system. Please provide a minimal, compilable example to reproduce the issue.

                      probably the elevated rights are part of the problem?

                        probably the elevated rights are part of the problem?

                        Don't think so - it's using a database and the app which creates the schema etc. wants admin rights. After this it looks like the normal application can run without admin rights but did not came that far.

                          No, only skydmin needs admin right in order to install the db. skylendar runs as a normal user.

                            If you really are scared to run skydmin as root, I can tell you how to install the db as the postgres non-root user.

                              @skylendar Thanks, but I don't think I'll debug your program ;)

                              I have too much of my own problems

                                    @skylendar thats why we need a simple program, trimmed down to the actual problem.

                                    Otherwise its hard to track down where the bug is. Until now it is not even proven that Qt is guilty.

                                      This is not a matter of guilt or not. We are not in an american thriller.
                                      And besides, how do you explain that my app works fine with qt5.11 and below, but not with qt5.12 ?

                                          • Qt is actually a commercial program, and most of you, if not all, are paid for debugging it

                                          Actually this is a user forums and no one here is paid anything to help :)
                                          We are not employees, but ordinary users of Qt.

                                          Anyway, i tried some of old drag drop sample with Qt 5.12 and
                                          they seems to work. At least on windows.
