SUMMARY Clicking in the "Outline" drop-down widget causes QMetaMethod::invoke to print an error on the calling terminal, apparently without any ill effects. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a project and at least 1 source file in KDevelop 2. Click in the Outline widget to get the outline of the code in the file OBSERVED RESULT The terminal shows QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method ExpandingTree::scrollTo(const QModelIndex,QAbstractItemView::ScrollHint) and the outline opens (presumably in that order); the widget is as functinonal as I'd expect it to be. The responsible queued invocation of scrollTo() in quickopenplugin.cpp:872 is 12 years old (commit 6ee7126a) and apparently already didn't do the trick back then. EXPECTED RESULT No error messages, and if possible a widget that does show the current function. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Qt Version: 5.9.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION After adding an explicit ExpandingTree::scrollTo(const QModelIndex, QAbstractItemView::ScrollHint) (yes, NOT a reference for the 1st argument, to add the supposedly missing method) the error becomes: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QAbstractItemView::ScrollHint' I have no idea what to do about that.

Properly current item in quick open outline Use a timer with a lambda instead of trying (and failing) to call a non-slot via QMetaObject::invoke. While at it, cleanup the code to not be so horrible.

Any idea why adding a slot in the ExpandingTree class didn't work? I didn't expect that you'd be doing some additional code maintenance, or I would have suggested that it would be nice if one could close the drop-down menu by clicking a 2nd click in the outline line edit widget (like with regular menus).
