Accepting the event means that it's not further propagated (to the parenting widget) returning "true" in the event filter means to "eat" the event, ie. prevent regular handling in following eventfilters or even the widget event handling itself. The patch will ensure that the (input, i assume) event goes up to the parent widget and is handled there if nothing else accepts it. If you returned true, no further processing would happen at all (ie. even DolphinView::event() would process it) You should btw. ensure that the parenting QScrollArea accepts it, or oxygen will get bugs because selecting items in dolphin will start to move the window ;-) Disclaimer: i've not even seen the bug, just generally commented on question and the one-liner diff - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
