QEditText steals focus in readonly mode on Nokia E75

**adrianvintu** · 2010-07-27, 12:42

Hi all,

I create a simple layout. Two buttons, a line edit and a QTextEdit. I have two problems with it.

1. if the QTextEdit is readonly:
I move focus to QTextEdit (with the DPad), press Select to be able to scroll -> the border changes from gray to white. I can now scroll through my text. After reading the text, I want to get out of the QTextEdit but I cannot. If I press Select, nothing happens; I would expect the border to go from white to gray, and to let me move the focus to another control.

2. if the QTextEdit is not readonly: then I move focus to the QTextEdit and the cursor jumps to the end of the text. The user has to scroll a lot up, to start reading the text from the beginning. I would expect the cursor to move to line 1 column 1, not end of text. Is this the desired behavior?

This problem manifests itself on Nokia E75 and I don't have any other devices for testing.
The QT version is 4.03, I think - it's the one from Nokia_Qt_SDK_Win_offline_v1_0_en.exe

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Here is the ui (sorry for the large copy/paste)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
<class>MainWindow</class>
<widget class="QMainWindow" name="MainWindow">
<property name="geometry">
<rect>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<width>360</width>
<height>350</height>
</rect>
</property>
<property name="windowTitle">

</property>
<widget class="QWidget" name="centralWidget">

<widget class="QPushButton" name="pushButton_2">

</layout>

<widget class="QTextEdit" name="textEdit">

</property>
</widget>
</item>
</layout>
</widget>
</widget>
<layoutdefault spacing="6" margin="11"/>
<resources/>
<connections/>
</ui>

Here is the mainwindow.cpp

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

//ui->textEdit->setReadOnly(true);

//if the textEdit is readonly then
//i set focus to the textEdit, and press the select key - the border changes from gray to white
//i can now scroll through the textEdit
//problem is, i can no fonger move focus away from the editText.
//if i press the select button, the border remains white, and i can never get out of the editText

//if the textEdit is not readonly then
//on receive focus(textEdit), the cursor is set to the end of the text,
//so the user does not start reading from beginning, but rather from the end

}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::changeEvent(QEvent *e)
{
QMainWindow::changeEvent(e);
switch (e->type()) {
case QEvent::LanguageChange:
ui->retranslateUi(this);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
