[SOLVED] Keyboard input ignored during debugging of GLAppQt (missing setFocusPolicy call in widget constructor)

[esger.abbink_]

Hi,

 

been working on our version of GLAppQt and noticed that keyboard input went ignored when debugging (linux + kdbg). Checked that this behavior is also present in GLAppQt sample.

 

The cause is that the KeyPress/Release events are dispatched to the parent window which ignores it instead of to the GLAppQt widget.

 

Adding "setFocusPolicy (Qt::StrongFocus)" (or other desired policy) to (GL)AppQt constructor solves the issue.

 

 

On a sidenote, the grabKeyboard () call in the constructor results in an X error here:

 

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 31 (X_GrabKeyboard)
  Resource id:  0x0
 

Since I see no immediate need for it (app functions fine with input in- & outside debugger) I've disabled it. What is the intent for that call?
