Public bug reported: If I tap the touch screen on a menu item that brings up a submenu in qt related apps, the submenu will appear for about one second, and then disappear. However, if instead of tapping and releasing on the menu item, I tap on the menu item and move in any other direction just a tiny bit, and then release, the submenu will appear and stay like normal behavior.
Below are specific examples and the pattern seems to be with qt related apps: QtCreator - Tap on the Tools menu. Then tap on the Git menu. The submenu will appear, and then disappear after 1 second. If instead of tapping on the Git menu, you tap and drag a few pixels to the right, the submenu will appear and stay. Dolphin file manager - Tap on "Control". Then tap on "View Mode". The submenu will appear, and then disappear after 1 second. If instead of tapping on "View Mode", you tap and drag a few pixels to the right, the submenu will appear and stay. Kate text editor - Tap on the "Tools" menu. Then tap on "Mode". The submenu will appear, and then disappear after 1 second. If instead of tapping on "Mode", you tap and drag a few pixels to the right, the submenu will appear and stay. Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 Expected Behavior: The submenu should stay until I make a selection or cancel. What happened: The submenu appears only for 1 second and disappears. However, if I "trick it" by tapping and dragging on the menu item, the submenu will stay as normal. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: qt submenu touch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658550 Title: erratic behavior with touch on submenus in qt related apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1658550/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
