Bug 35660 – [Qt] Cursor in QWebView/ WebKit (with setContentEditable true) does not show until lose/gain focus

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: New Bugs

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-5288
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5288

--- Description ---

Version: 4.6.0-beta 


<p>Platform: Mac OS X <br/>
Platform details: os x 10.5.4, mac pro 2X 2.66ghz, 7 gb ram safari 3.x </p>


<p>Compilers: GCC <br/>
Compiler details: default xcode compile </p>


<p>Steps to reproduce / test case:</p>

<p>Compile my included sample app </p>

<p>1) Run sample app. <br/>
2) Since I make the content of the webview editable in code, the cursor should immediately start to "blink" telling the user that she can begin to type. </p>

<p>Bug: </p>

<p>The cursor in the webview should start to blink on launch but does not. </p>

<p>Cursor does not show until you focus on another window in another app then return, or choose (in another app I wrote), the color picker, choose color, then dismissed it. </p>

<p>In both those cases the cursor is then shown and starts to blink correctly. <br/>
It should be noted that clicking anywhere in the webview now will also NOT show the cursor, (cursor does not update) as it should when a user clicks on a different part of the page for her to edit. </p>


<p>More information:</p>

<p>I have included a test app that recreates this and a quicktime movie that shows the cursor remaining hidden until the window with the webview loses focus and then regains it. </p>

<p>In the quicktime movie you will see that as I click around the page, the cursor does not update or show. Then in the movie I click on the window to the left, which is an xcode window, and upon returning to the webview app, the cursor correctly display at the point of the mouse click. </p>

Could not reproduce. This bug was probably fixed in r50937.
