QState entered and exited automatically. Strange behavior?

[franz]

I double and triple-checked the code, it's a bit complex and I prefer not to post it - hoping my explanation is clear.

Does someone of you have a clue about why this happens?
If needed (i.e. not obvious solution) I can try to post the code.

With these types of bugs it is often the case that the description of the code does not match the actual code. If you are apprehensive of posting all your code, copy/paste the relevant parts of your state machine setup, particularly all the transition setup calls.

On rereading your post though, I think that your Searching state is stuck in QFinalState (obvious, no?) and is always emitting the finished() signal or something like that. Since you state that dropping the final state suits your purpose, you should go for that, or make sure that the correct sub-state is entered when you enter searching state.
