QComboBox does not update

[Cruz]

Hi.

I have a QComboBox on my gui that I use to select a string from a given set of options. When I click on it the dropdown appears, I make my choice and then the dropdown closes again, but it's still the default value that is displayed. The combo box is connected to a slot, so I know that the choice was made correctly. Only when I move the mouse over the combo it finally gets updated and shows the last choice made.

I also tried connecting it to its own update slot

connect(ui.portComboBox, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(const QString)), ui.portComboBox, SLOT(update()));

connect(ui.portComboBox, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(const QString)), ui.portComboBox, SLOT(update()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to no avail.

Should I program something that automatically moves the mouse over the combo when a choice was made or what?
