QDialog closing its parent on exit..

Hm.. I attempted to replicate the problem in a few ways on a smaller project.. but it worked as normal :s. I can't really put up the entirety of the program ( a mix of environment, external dependencies, and the thing is quite large; even if just the GUI code.)

I'll keep tinkering and report my findings.. if I figure it out before defaulting to just using member functions. I was hoping there was some (possibly obvious) oversight in my misunderstanding the event loop and static/global objects (or something along those lines.)

Maybe Your other (main) widget is hidden?
If Yes then closing last visible window will close app.

Try: thang->setAttribute(Qt::WA_QuitOnClose, false);

This is exactly the reason for making a small compilable example. Instead of asking the forum to chase ghosts, you check the problem is actually what you try to describe with 'snippets' that obviously don't contain the problem.
