Tooltip hides immediatley on MAC if key is released

XMLWordPrintable

    • macOS

      We have a QComboBox containing several entries which all have a tooltip containing additional information.

      If the user navigates through the entries with the keyboard, stopping on an entry displays the tooltip.

       

      On MAC the tooltip hides immediately making it basically useless.

       

      I found the responsible code part in the Qt sources:

      bool QTipLabel::eventFilter(QObject *o, QEvent *e)
{
    switch (e->type()) {
#ifdef Q_OS_MACOS
    case QEvent::KeyPress:
    case QEvent::KeyRelease: {
        const int key = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(e)->key();
        // Anything except key modifiers or caps-lock, etc.
        if (key < Qt::Key_Shift || key > Qt::Key_ScrollLock)
            hideTipImmediately();
        break;
    }
#endif

      Is this intended behaviour?
