I have a Qt program with a QGraphicScene inside a QGraphicsView on top of QMainWindow. The events are handled by the QMainWindow using an eventFilter function. The function body looks similar to this code:
bool Window::eventFilter(QObject *, QEvent *event) {
QEvent::Type type = event->type();
if (type == QEvent::KeyPress) {
QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
switch(keyEvent->key()) {
case Qt::Key_A:
case Qt::Key_B:
case Qt::Key_C:
case Qt::Key_D:
// call a function that uses the current mouse position on the graphics scene
break;
default:
QLocale loc = QApplication::keyboardInputLocale();
if(loc.language() != QLocale::English) {
QString message = "A non-English key was pressed";
showMessage(message, QMessageBox::Warning);
}
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
I recently added the "default" part and since then the coordinates that are used in the A,B,C,D cases are totally wrong. In addition, if I add a simple cout print anywhere in the function the bug disappears and the correct mouse coordinates are used.
What can possibly cause this?
