Hi again,
But it sounds like you're asking for a better search mechanism.
Not really. Sometimes you need to read a bit to see what is there and
what can be done. But if half of the members is inherited, it's hard to
get an overview.

Hi Martin,
the all-members list is very useful to get an overview about a class.
You're searching for a function to perform a specific task, that you
assume to be in a class. Searching through all inherited classes is a
tedious task.
If there are no technical limitations, I'm for keeping the all-members list.

I'll argue with you about it being a p1. If the problem is confined to the
all-members list, it's not a p1 problem because the information is still there
via the inherits links, which are more useful for seeing what is inherited
anyway. My own opinion is that the all-members list should be removed.

Not only are members missing, but links lead noplace. For example in the
mentioned page metaObject() goes to
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.12/qwidget.html#metaObject which naturally doesn't exist.
From what I can tell nothing that is inherited, beside the things explicitly
overriden, appear in the list. Although I wouldn't presume to place fault, for
me the bad impression was left not by the bug itself, which is pretty
embarrassing, as so much as bouncing it around on the tracker for 10 days until
ultimately a ping on the list prompted action ... I mean, we get it, there's
not enough people and hours to handle all the bugs, but I *hope* it is not
going to be necessary to bring P1s to the list so at least they get attention
...
Disclaimer: I had conversed with Sze-Howe about this bugreport before he
started this thread.
Nitpick: Between 5.10 and 5.11 we magically got qt_metacall and qt_metacast
(expanded out of Q_OBJECT) into the members list and of course the links are
broken, but this listing of private(-use) members is long-standing (from Qt 4);
although I'm pretty sure these are not intended to be employed by the users and
they're never going to get a proper documentation page.
