I had to verify that myself. :) But, it's like that. The central dispatch calls theApp()->dispatch(action) where the switch statement waits to do it's work. The default: of the GuiApplication::dispatch passes it to the current GuiView::dispatch if there is one. >> I'll attach another patch >> * without #ifdef >> * with dummy view to do the dispatch >> >> This works better, but affects the code more. > > Affecting more code is not a problem IMO.

After all, it's a work around. :( The proper solution requires the handling of e.g. Preferences in GuiApplication. Stephan
