PR #4624: now in the devel and 6.8.9 branches

[Edward K. Ream]

PR #4624 makes all commands work when executed from Leo's menus.

And it does a lot more behind the scenes. The details are in the PR.

Please continue testing and report any problems.

And one more thing. A new method, LeoQtGui.create_wrapper_for_widget, contains defensive code that prints a warning to the console if all is not as expected. Please report such traces if you see them. Leo should work just fine in any case.

P.S. I'm quite surprised by how much work it took to fix the bug to my satisfaction. The details are bewildering. Nevertheless, I am confident that the new code is significantly better than the code in Leo 6.8.8.

Big sigh. I've just created #4626: copy does not work in the Completion tab.

I'm not sure it ever worked. And  create_wrapper_for_widget does not issue any warning.  Btw, that method is mostly misnamed--it's supposed to return an existing wrapper by default, creating a wrapper only if something is amiss.
