[osg-users] Qt5 and OSG port issue: Shaking motion when moving a osgQt widget on Linux

[Laurel Kincaid]

Hello,

While porting to Qt5, I've run into a problem on Linux with moving an osgQt widget. The
mouse move events are incorrect and the widget shakes while moving. This issue did not occur with QT4.

I am using osg version 3.4.0-01 and Qt version 5.4.2.

This problem is reproducible with a simple update to the example from the osg distribution , osg/examples/osgviewerQt/osgviewerQt.cpp

In the updated source, the ViewerWidget is added as a child to a QMdiSubwindow. There are two QMdiSubWindows displayed: the first window is the osg cow, the second window is a QLabel containing text. When the osg cow is displayed, both windows shake when moved. When the cow window is closed, the text window moves without shaking.

This problem does not occur on Windows.

I am interested in any help figuring out this problem and also any help to understand the QT xcb changes and how they may conflict with osg.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Laurel

The source is:

Code:

// Modified to display the cow only

        // disable the default setting of viewer.done() by pressing Escape.
        setKeyEventSetsDone(0);
