There is nothing broken: it's a well defined API that behaves exactly like it is documented. Your suggestion is about modifying an illogical API. I don't know the reasons why the API was decided once the way it is - but it is so confusing, that I can't believe that it happened by accident ( being documented later ). My guess is that it was following some other system that did it this way. In the end it is about to decide if the improvement is it worth to introduce a hard to find incompatibility to the application world. > Changing this in a minor release is obviously not going to > happen so its either now or never. Thought Qt 5.0 API is already frozen - but if you really want to do it now is indeed by far the best moment for changes like this one.
