Hello everbody!
I stumbled across a QtWebEngine problem while using a touch display. I can browse normally through websites via my touch display, but when I click on a DropDown menu (for example on https://www.ebay.com/ clicking on "All categories" next to the search field), touch is not working anymore (or 1/30 touch clicks works). I can still close it via mouse/keyboard. After closing the DropDown menu, touch is working again.
I created a small example browser, there is nothing special in it:
BrowserWidget::BrowserWidget(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent), ui(new Ui::BrowserWidget),
m_webView(new QWebEngineView(this)), m_page(new QWebEnginePage(this)) {
ui->setupUi(this);
ui->verticalLayout->addWidget(m_webView);
m_page->setUrl(QUrl(QStringLiteral("https://www.ebay.com/")));
m_webView->setPage(m_page);
m_webView->setAttribute(Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents);
m_webView->installEventFilter(this);
}
bool BrowserWidget::eventFilter(QObject *watched, QEvent *e) {
qDebug() << "event: " << e->type();
if (e->type() == QEvent::ChildAdded) {
QChildEvent *ce = static_cast<QChildEvent *>(e);
if (ce && ce->child()) {
ce->child()->installEventFilter(this);
}
}
return false;
}
I installed my event filter to the widgets in the QEvent::ChildAdded for a better debugging (so I can observe more events). When I close the DropDown with my mouse I get MouseButtonPress, FocusIn, ChildRemoved, ... events. But with touch I only get MouseButtonPress, nothing more.
This behaviour is always reproducable and I don't know if I did something wrong, because I can operate the browser via touch. I also added the Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents to the child widgets or the BrowserWidget itself, but it didn't make any difference.
I hope somebody of you can help me out, thank you!
