    • Defects in QQuickWidget

    Description

      This is a summary of my experiences with trying to use QQuickWidget instead of
      createWindowContainer() in the QML profiler. The basic API is pretty much the same. You just have to
      apply https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,78555 to reproduce this. One nice thing is that now
      I don't have to hide the main view anymore to show a progressbar. With the window container the
      layering was undefined, leading to various problems. Now I can safely apply
      https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,78556 and any progress bars will be shown on top of the
      QML scene. Another effect is that I see much fewer artifacts when resizing the dock area (this is on
      X11, see also https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-35805)

      However, there are some pretty major flaws still.

      • If I just try with current qtdeclarative it will crash as soon as I select the profiler because
        apparently it doesn't create a renderer if given a size with height == 0, but later expects it to
        be present. Checking for renderer before using it, as in https://codereview.qt-project.org/78553 ,
        works around that.
      • Generally I see a couple of error messages when creating the widgets:
        QOpenGLFramebufferObject: Framebuffer incomplete attachment.
        QOpenGLFramebufferObject: Framebuffer incomplete, missing attachment.
        QOpenGLFramebufferObject: Framebuffer incomplete attachment.
        QOpenGLFramebufferObject: Framebuffer incomplete, missing attachment.
        
      • There are white dashed lines at the bottom right and lower left. See the screenshots.
      • It produces artifacts when hidden and later shown again. In order to see this, I leave out
        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,78556 and only try with
        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,78555 . If I profile anything, when collecting the data
        the main timeline view is supposed to be hidden and the progress bar is shown. When the collecting
        is done the progress bar is hidden and the timeline is show again. See the screenshots for the
        artifacts I get in that process. Part of that could be due to misuse, in particular the fact that
        the toolbar moves to the center. However, note that after calling show(), the (unrelated) timebar
        widget is invisible. When switching away from the QQuickWidgets and back, e.g. via the events view
        everything looks normal again.
      • The QQuickWidgets go completely black or white when detaching and reattaching them from/to the
        dock as own window. See white.png for that effect. I get more error messages in that case:
        QOpenGLShaderProgram::bind: program is not valid in the current context.
        QOpenGLShaderProgram::bind: program is not valid in the current context.
        QOpenGLShaderProgram::bind: program is not valid in the current context.
        QOpenGLShaderProgram::bind: program is not valid in the current context.
        QOpenGLShaderProgram::bind: program is not valid in the current context.
        QOpenGLShaderProgram::bind: program is not valid in the current context.
        [...]
        

        Quite often it just crashes when trying to detach:

      • Doubleclick doesn't work. Select a range in the main view with the range tool from the tool bar.
        Doubleclicking on the selected range normally makes the view zoom into the selection. It doesn't
        with QQuickWidget.
      • Clicks on other widgets are sometimes lost. I don't know how to reproduce that, yet. However, on
        one occasion the application became completely unresponsive because no mouse events were delivered
        to anything anymore and on another occasion I could only access the main menu and had to click
        twice everytime before the click was registered.
