I have a a QWidgetAction which holds a QWidget composed of a QLineEdit and a QPushButton. Once the user press the button the QWidgetAction call the trigger slot.

Now I have a QMenu which I activate with exec. The problem is that even though trigger is called (I've connected it to a print function as well to check) the menu won't close.

Any idea why? I'm at my wits' end.

(Searching on the net I have found other people with the same problem, but no answers.)
