Leo w/ Qt 'looses' focus in the body of each node ...

[VR]

Hello Edward,

since you have announced that Tk will be phased out as a GUI for Leo
I've tried to move to Qt ...

'Live URLs' are working well, so a major reason which held me back is
gone. The one thing that is irritating me
now, is that Leo is loosing the focus at the end of the body of a node
where I type. - It always goes back several lines after I switched for
example to the web-browser to copy some content and I have to
explicitely set the focus to the end of the body again.

Am I missing something - or - is this a known issue/ limitation ? - I
have tried it with both
--gui=qt & --gui=qttabs. - No change in behaviour ...

Here is the content from the log pane:

<log1>

Here is the content from 'print plugins info':

</log2>

I'm eager to try out any suggestion ...

With kind regards,

I am using Qt for a long time. Never had this bug. There is definitely
something with your Qt. Here is my info:

Leo 4.8 final, build 3752, November 26, 2010

Python 2.6.4, qt version 4.7.0
Windows 5, 1, 2600, 2, Service Pack 3

Try to use the same Qt version as me.

HTH, Dmitry

I think I've noticed something like that, if you're adding text at the
end of the body, after focus out and in it's scrolled the bottom down a
few lines so you can't see it, irritating. Will try and pay attention
to details next time I notice it.

That's IMHO unrelated issue and I see that too. Exactly as you wrote:
if you are on the last page in your body pane and already at the
bottom
of the screen, pressing new-line moves the cursor properly on the next
line,
but the text isn't scrolled. So you can type with no problems, only
you
haven't see the text until you scroll explicitly. Yeah, irritating ;-(

What could be important: I see that misbehaviour already for some time
(say two months at least) and it is also in Tk version. So that should
be something more related to Leo core than to the GUI...

Hello Radim,

I have several nodes where I experience that behaviour. - It *only*
happens
with --gui= qt or --gui=qttabs but *not* with --gui=tab !

Therefore I stick with my initial statement that it is Qt-related ...

With kind regards,

VR

Hello Dmitriy,

Thanks for your suggestion. - However since I'm using everything
different, i.e. Python version, Qt version and Windows version I do
not
plan to go along that line, but will try to find a pattern with the
nodes
where I experience that behaviour ...

With kind regards,

I was able to create a small outline that consistently demonstrates
the
problem in my environement. - I'll send this outline to your gmail-
address.

Thanks in advance for looking into it.

With kind regards,

Is this still happening? I regard such focus problems as high-
priority bugs. And now I'm in bug-fixing mode :-)

Hello Edward,

Yes, it is still happening once in a while. - I have not really kept
track lately.
- However as soon as it happens again, I'll send you the outline.

With kind regards,

The outline is not important information. What is important are the
precise actions you took that caused Leo to lose focus.
