Why when I move a QDockWidget over another, the first becomes hidden?

[ricardo]

Hi!


Why when I move a QDockWidget over another, the first becomes hidden?
I remember in other projects I could see a new tab was creeated, but not in this one.

Do you know what could be the reason?

Thanks a lot.

Why, when you ask a question, don't you provide a clear explanation of what puzzles you and enough contextual data for it to be analyzed by others so that they might answer you question?

Do you have any screenshot/video demonstrating the issue? Or a minimal sample code reproducing it? Or, at least, a (presumably not minimal) piece of code related to dock widget management in the app that exhibits this behavior?

There is no code, as I'm using only Designer. Likely I could explain it better, but my English is so rusty

This it what happens:

1 I have 3 docks.
2 Move one over another and I see a tab, but still didn't release the mouse button
3 I release the mouse button, tab is not created and the old dock disappears.
(I 'd like to see tabs and I wouldn't like one dock disappears)

Please, see 3 attached pictures.

Why does Qt have this behaviour? How can I change it?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Can you provide the ui file? Which Qt version are you using?

[ricardo]

Thanks for reply.

Version 4.5.0 Open Source Edition.

It seems there is something wrong with:
AllowTabbedDocks
ForceTabbedDocks
I set them to true but my UI ignores them.

I upload the .ui file, maybe I forgot another configuration.

Thanks for your help.

Well, I know where the problem is:

I have 4 docks, an 4 menus at the barmenu where I can show/hidde any docks, so I added 4 signals to show/hidde docks.
If I delete them, everything works as expected (tabs are created), but I really want to be able to shw/hidde docks from menubar.

Any idea? You can try it downloading my UI file.

Thanks.

Use trigger () signal instead of using toggle() for the menubar actions, this might help.
