Created attachment 89752 [details] Example to reproduce the problem When the page of a QGraphicsWebView is set as editable (page()->setContentEditable(true)) and the user selects some text, opening the context menu causes the selected text to get removed from the page. Steps to reproduce: - Compile and run the attached example - Select some text - Right-click it to open the context menu Actual behaviour: The selected text is removed Expected behaviour: The selected text shouldn't be removed

Apparently, the bug can be workarounded by calling setContentEditable(false) right before opening the context menu, then calling setContentEditable(true) after the menu is closed.

I forgot to mention it happens with Qt 4.7.2.

Actually the problem seems to be broader. The selection is cleared whenever the view loses its focus. For example, if I select some text and switch to another application, then come back, the selection has been removed as well.
