Attachments:	side-ways related: possible optimisation for KTextEditor::ViewPrivate::contextMenu()

Description RJVB 2017-01-25 15:07:27 UTC

For a while now I've been seeing an issue in KDevelop on Mac where the context menu doesn't open every other right-click:

- a right-click in a newly opened or switched-to document opens the context menu
- dismiss the menu (e.g. with Escape), right-click again; menu doesn't open
- right-click once more; menu opens.

The context menu does open reliably in other views (and on Linux).

I don't have this issue in Kate but I do notice that `KTextEditor::ViewPrivate::aboutToShowContextMenu()` is not called when I click and the context menu doesn't appear.

That may make it a Qt issue (indeed I've been noticing in certain dialogs that I now need 2 left-clicks to activate the "next" button where before (and on Linux) I only need to click once); it's quite possible the issue started when I updated to Qt 5.7.

If not a Qt issue, can it be the result of a change in the way Qt signals are being handled in KTextEditor?

side-ways related: possible optimisation for KTextEditor::ViewPrivate::contextMenu()

This is a change I tested to see if the repeated reconnecting (disconnect/connect) in `KTextEditor::ViewPrivate::contextMenu()` caused clicks to get lost. Apparently it doesn't, but maybe it's a good idea to make this change anyway, despite the fact it naughtily violates the methods "const" qualifier?

Hi, is that still an issue with the current version?
For the optimization: no idea if that is good idea, if in doubt, would not touch that code.

Comment 3 RJVB 2022-01-08 23:18:26 UTC

Sorry, no idea, I'm stuck at 5.60.0 for now. That version does still have issues with the context menu in KTextEditor views, especially in KDevelop.
