QPushButton Requires Two Clicks (Not Always)

[TravisLedo]

If you have commented out all of the slots that are connected to your buttons, then how can you tell that it takes two clicks on any button to get a response? What exactly are you doing to determine that?

When you click them they turn blue for a second or until you let go of the mouse. Does not happen on the first click when the problem arises. Also can't be a coincidence that both the click animation and slot are not getting triggered at the same time. It's def the button not receiving the click. I also could just add the slot back with just print statements. Same thing. Does not show click animation or call the function.

Yes, I have this problem too, if i put the btn to layout, i must clicked twitce; if don't use QVBoxLayout it's work

But, If i set tabWidget is documentMode, It is work.

my system is OSX 10.15.6, Qt: 5.15

#include "preferencewidget.h"
#include "ui_preferencewidget.h"
#include <QTabWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QLayout>
#include <QVBoxLayout>

PreferenceWidget::PreferenceWidget(QWidget *parent) :
QWidget(parent),
ui(new Ui::PreferenceWidget)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

QTabWidget *tab = new QTabWidget(this);

QWidget *browser_tab = new QWidget;
QWidget *users_tab = new QWidget;

tab->addTab(browser_tab, "Browser");
tab->addTab(users_tab, "Users");

tab->setGeometry(20, 20, 300, 250);

QPushButton *btn = new QPushButton("Btn1");
btn->setGeometry(10, 30, 100, 40);
btn->setParent(users_tab);

QVBoxLayout *vl = new QVBoxLayout(users_tab);
vl->addWidget(btn);
users_tab->setLayout(vl);

connect(btn, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(clickedAlert()));
}

PreferenceWidget::~PreferenceWidget()
{
delete ui;
}


void PreferenceWidget::clickedAlert()
{
qDebug() << "Clicked";
}
