    Description

      Steps to Reproduce:

      • See attached main.cpp
      • Run, and place window near the bottom of the screen (see example image)
      • Select a menu

      Results:

      • Resulting popup menu is positioned in a weird/floating/unexpected location

      Expected Results:

      • Resulting popup menu is placed in nice alignment with the Menu title

      ------------------------------------------------------------------

      Updating the visibility of QActions in QMenu just before the menu is shown (QMenu::aboutToShow connection) results in poor placement of the menus. See the attached example image.

      It appears to draw poorly when the length of the menu - before visibility changes - exceeds available vertical drawing space. This is troublesome when your application has a QMenu with a long, long list of QActions, even though only a small subset are visible at any time.

      As noted, at the end of AboutToShow I've tried:

      • update, updateGeometry, adjustSize(), ensurePolished with both pMenu and pMenu->parentWidget()
      • invalidating the layout, but neither pMenu nor pMenu->parentWidget have a valid widget at this point.

      Posting this issue on the Qt Forums, it was recommended to file a bug (any related bugs in this database appear to have already been resolved):
