Since KMenu is deprecated and the ::addTitle() implementation doesn't differ in KF5, either the applications have simply been ported away from KMenu or QWidgetAction was fixed in Qt5. To know why exactly this crashes for you, i'd need to see a backtrace (paste.kde.org) - Qt4 claimed QWidgetAction support on OSX' global menu - with some caveats. If QMenu::menuAction() is in the action list of the global menu - unfortunately, this menubar is parentless :-( Also there's no guarantee that this assignment won't change at some point in the future to any direction. > IIRC you get just a separator, not the title text What basically means that the QWidget(Action) reparenting doesn't work at all in Qt5 anymore (at best the linked out widget is just hidden) Disclaimer: I'm a bit biased here ;-) Imo using a QWidgetAction as title was a wrong design itfp - I proposed a Qt4 patch to use a leading and entitled separator instead, but it was rejected because not all styles did/do support texted separators. No idea whether that patch was revived for Qt5, never tested. (And, tbh, I don't know whether the native styles, ie. Win and Mac, support texted separators) - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
