Mouse click release does not work properly on drop-down menu #502

Closed mdelia17 closed 4 months ago

mdelia17 commented 4 months ago

Hello,

I'm encountering issues with the stroke and fill color drop-down menu. When the menu becomes scrollable due to a sufficient number of colors (I am using these colors KITcolor.zip), it unexpectedly closes as soon as I release the click. This forces me to select a color randomly based on the mouse's position.

While it's possible to use a workaround with the mouse wheel without releasing the click, it's not as straightforward when using a touchpad.

I'm currently using Ubuntu 23.10 (Wayland), and this problem persists across previous releases. Interestingly, switching to XOrg instead of Wayland seems to resolve the issue.

This sounds very much like a Qt bug. Which version of Qt are you using?

mdelia17 commented 4 months ago

qmake --version returns "Using Qt version 5.15.2"

Please open Ipe, go to the Help menu und select "Show libraries". Ipe has not been using Qt 5 for a long time...

I removed all the old Qt releases, reinstalled Ipe, and checked its dependencies. It now appears to use Qt 6. However, the problem persists on Wayland.

So which Qt version exactly is it using?

mdelia17 commented 4 months ago

6.4.2

There is really nothing I can do for you - the problem is in Qt, and it's quite likely it's already been fixed in a newer Qt version (the current one is 6.7). You could double check that by running Ipe on a Manjaro Linux live image. Even if it's not fixed in 6.7, you would have to report the problem to the Qt maintainers.

Thank you very much anyway!
