QToolBar popup menu problem.
Message 1 in thread
Dear Qt community,
I am facing a strange issue with QToolBar. I have a QToolBar and several
other widgets like
QTableWidgets. When one of the widgets is selected, the toolbar is
cleared (clear() method)
and filled again with new QActions associated with the selected widget
(some kind of dynamic
toolbar). It works fine, untill I add so many QActions that the QToolBar
has to display a small
arrow, which provides a popup menu containing the remaining icons (not
displayed otherwise).
I happens that when I switch between QWidgets, changing the contents of
the toolbar, the
icons from both selections are mixes within the popup menu. But when I
go fullscreen, the
toolbar has enough space to display all the icons, and the display is
correct. The only way to
clean up the popup menu is to:
1) go fullscreen (so that all the icons are displayed in the toolbar)
2) select another widget (thus, updating the toolbar's content with
other actions)
3) switching back to the original selection
4) coming back to reduced size
Then, the popup menu contains exactly the required icons.
So it looks like the popup menu is not correctly emptied with the
clear() method. I could not
find any way to clear it. So I wonder: should the menu be cleared
separately from the
QToolBar or is it a bug ?
Any piece of advice about this problem would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alex

This sounds like a bug. You should enter it in the bug tracker on
