Line Edits don't select entire text on double click about orange-widget-base HOT 11 CLOSED

Works properly for me (Linux, Qt 5.15.4). Please report your OS and Qt versions (you can also experiment slightly with the latter).

Interestingly, your screenshot shows that there was one instant when the whole text was selected and then it changed. :)

I can reproduce it on macOS Big Sur with both qt versions: 5.12, 5.15
For me it does not look that we are doing something wrong with listView -- it looks like more Qt issue

It is definitely PyQt - Qt issue. I can reproduce it in a simple application that does not use any orange widget component.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLineEdit

import sys

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

window = QLineEdit()
window.show()  
app.exec()

from orange-widget-base.

We can't do anything then, and can close the issue, right?

from orange-widget-base.

We should find the corresponding Qt bug, if it exists, else file one. If the bug appears in pure Qt, we'd need to file a bug to the Qt, else PyQt.

Looks like this? https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-75902

from orange-widget-base.

Yes, even though the report says "Linux", but I am experiencing it on OSX. But yes, the same thing.

Ok, so we can't do much about it, and worse, Qt 5.15 might not ever fix the bug. @ajdapretnar or @PrimozGodec, could you check what happens in PyQt6? So that we know what we expect in the future, or even report a Qt bug.

Just install it PyQt6 (to be safe, perhaps a new environment), run the following code, and check how the selection works.

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import *
app = QApplication([])
label = QLineEdit('Hello World!')
label.show()
app.exec()

from orange-widget-base.

It works very well with PyQt6.

So we can close this issue for now.
