Why QAction inside Qmenu doesn't display Icon ?

Hi,

If you are using Qt 4.6, there is a new property on QAction named "iconVisibleInMenu"

Could be that....

Could be, but this property appeared on Qt 4.4, and I've experienced the misfunction from 4.5.3 to 4.6 and rarely trolls change behaviour in that sense without any advise

I think it's a regression. I've been looking at QMenu's code and I cannot see nothing wrong.

I was thinking about that because I had the same problem.
It was OK with 4.5 but in 4.6, no more icons in the main menuBar, checking this property for each action in designer and recompiling it solved the problem.

Edit Maybe not linked with 4.6 but with the new version of QtCreator, as long as I install the complete SDK.

As yonnak said, is was "iconVisibleInMenu" property. Beginning at 4.6.0 version is set to false ( on 4.5.3 was set to true by default )

So is a behaviour change. I don't know why, but trolls decided to set this flag to false without advice.

So changing ALL the places where i use a QAction solved the problem. Not nice, but is a workaround for me.

Anyway, the "BUG" is open, to obtain at least an explanation about this change...
