Fixture Locations within Fixture Group (4.8.5)

Jimmy T. · Thu Apr 16, 2015 8:05 pm

I'm using OSX (MAC)

I went to arrange some fixtures inside a group and it will not drag and drop. I tried starting a new project and same thing happens.

If I delete the fixture, click the location and then select to add a fixture it will go to the selected location.

May be related to Qt5.4.1.

I think I've encountered the issue.

Is this what happens:

You can drag a fixture, move it over another place, but the mouse icon stays on "forbidden" state, and releasing it does nothing.

?

Should be this Qt bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-45037

No problem on Qt5.4.0 but Qt5.4.1 seems to break some stuff...

To devs:
It's possible to fix this by changing the table dragDropMode from InternalMove to DragDrop.
It's also possible to wait for the Qt team to fix this bug.

Apparently Qt 5.4.2 is almost ready. Let's see if it fixes this issue.
Otherwise I can produce an OSX build based on 5.4.0

I've just dropped my 2 cents here
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/d ... 21184.html

Let's see if they have ears to hear...

FYI, the fix will be included in Qt5.4.2

Yepp ! I followed the troublesome integration on Gerrit but in the end it went upstream ! (the usual damn test units !

)
So as soon as Qt 5.4.2 will be released, I'll produce an OSX TEST version to check if everything's OK

Thanks for the updates.

I did find that if you move the cursor outside the group of boxes and bring it back it will place the fixture for you. Just a work-around for now

Later

As promised, TEST version available here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3135

I downloaded a snapshot of Qt 5.4.2 as it has not been released yet. It should contain the fix we're intersted in though.
If everything goes according to plans, the snapshot I downloaded could be the official Qt release anyway.

Please give it a try and tell us if the issue has gone away
