    Description

      t4id: 237401

      QFileDialog, QFileSystemModel and QFileSystemWatcher will spawn a thread. But by rights any event filter you install won't have a problem. If you install an event filter on an object in another thread it does really nothing, so by rights its safe.

      But we should document if a thread is spawned. Also because it's an implementation detail regarding performance and such which is useful to know. Docs for QFileDialog, QFileSystemModel and QFileSystemWatcher should mention the thread creation.
