contextmenu in QDockWidget title

[coderbob]

I believe if you are going to subclass you should not be declaring

private:
    void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *e);

private:
    void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *e);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but instead

protected:
    void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *e);

protected:
    void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *e);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And why are you parenting your QAction to the QMainWindow and not the QDockWidget?

Not sure but floating the widget and having the actions parents set to mainwindow could be causing problems.

I don't know why I parented the actions on mainwindow. Think it was an over site.

I sat down and made a few changes after re-re-reviewing the documentation and got something working for the most part. I still can get it into the mode were it will not display the menu when floating which is not good at all... but it works. The ultimate goal is to have the menu show when the user right clicks the mouse when over the title bar (docked or floating).
