    Default Strange behavior: double click/mouse dragging will trigger key event “CTRL-C”

    Qt seems to behavior strangely: when mouse double click or dragging on a widget, it will trigger the Ctrl-C key event. Here is my code:

    Qt Code:
    1. class CWidget: public QWidget
    2. {
    3. Q_OBJECT
    4.  
    5. public:
    6. CWidget()
    7. {
    8.  
    9. };
    10. virtual ~CWidget()
    11. {
    12. }
    13.  
    14. protected:
    15. void keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * event )
    16. {
    17. if (event->key() == Qt::Key_C && (event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier))
    18. {
    19. qDebug() << "strange copy: Ctrl-C";
    20. }
    21. QWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
    22. }
    23. }; //
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    After the widget is shown, you can perform mouse double click and dragging around on it, and the debug message "strange copy:Ctrl-C" is printed. I have been searching over the internet for two days about this, and found nothing.

    Did I code it wrong or it is a bug of Qt?

    The code is tested under (vs2008 + Qt Addin + Qt 4.7.3) and (qcreator + Qt 4.7.3 ), xp sp2

    Here is the project can be compiled using vs2008 + Qt Addin + Qt 4.7.3:

    Please provide a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Hmmm I can't see any strange behaviour (w7 64bit, qt creator, qt4.6.3/qt4.7.4).
