Is this a bug?

On application startup I create a QMenu then after I create a QWidget alll within the constructor. By createing a QWidget the menu becomes disabled. If the QWidget is created after calling show() everything is fine.
I'm using the commercial version of 4.4.1 installed as is, not rebuilt, and building the project in Visual Studio 2008. I checked my Mac version and it works correctly, but I have done a local rebuild on the Mac.

The code ....

#ifndef QTAPPLICATION_H
#define QTAPPLICATION_H
 
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
#include <QtGui/QWidget>
#include <QtGui/QAction>
#include <QtGui/QMenu>
#include <QtGui/QMenuBar>
 
class QTApplication : public QMainWindow
{
	Q_OBJECT
 
public:
	QTApplication(QWidget *parent = 0, Qt::WFlags flags = 0);
	virtual ~QTApplication();
};
 
#endif // QTAPPLICATION_H

#ifndef QTAPPLICATION_H
#define QTAPPLICATION_H

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
#include <QtGui/QWidget>
#include <QtGui/QAction>
#include <QtGui/QMenu>
#include <QtGui/QMenuBar>

class QTApplication : public QMainWindow
{
	Q_OBJECT

public:
	QTApplication(QWidget *parent = 0, Qt::WFlags flags = 0);
	virtual ~QTApplication();
};

#endif // QTAPPLICATION_H

	QMenu* menu = menuBar()->addMenu( tr("File") );
	menu->addAction( new QAction(tr("exit"), this) );
 
    // **** Creating this widget is blocking the menu
    QWidget* widget = new QWidget(this);
}
 
QTApplication::~QTApplication()

The QWidget is created over top of the menu. I tried it with a QLabel and it does the same thing. Creating the widget before the menu would do the opposite, the menu would be over the widget. Using QMainWindow::setCentralWidget places the widget below the menu. It's not a bug. Creating a widget with out managing its layout will place the widget in the top left corner of its parent.
