When using editorEvent in QItemDelegate, the QStyle::State_Selected doesnt arrive

[wysota]

When I do that, the paint is called with the selection but the editorEvent doesn't.

Let me repeat myself, but only once. editorEvent() handles many types of events, not a particular one. You can't just look at one event which doesn't contain information about selection and say that editorEvent() doesn't have information about selection. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, it all depends on the type of event it is currently handling. It's a direct equivalent of QObject::event().
