QStyle button hover

[jpn]

They are flags. You should combine a set of flags by using OR operator:

sob.state |= QStyle::State_MouseOver;

sob.state |= QStyle::State_MouseOver;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Notice what QStyleOption::initFrom() docs say.. It already initializes state so basically you overrode it with plain QStyle::State_MouseOver.
