QDockWidget wierdness

[mhoover]

When I call:

my_dockwidget->setFloating( true );

my_dockwidget->setFloating( true );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Nothing happens. I can't see the widget in my QMainWindow or floating.

But if I do this:

my_dockwidget->setFloating( false );
my_dockwidget->setFloating( true );

my_dockwidget->setFloating( false );
my_dockwidget->setFloating( true );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then it pops up.

Is this a bug in Qt?

In the case where it doesn't pop up, I cout'ed the isVisible() isFloat() parameters and both were true!

How do you dock your widget? Because on default floating is true. So I guess when you dock your widget that property isn't changed.

If the property is set to "true" I would think it should be floating and visible.

I dock it by typing:
addDockWidget( (Qt:ockWidgetArea)the_widget->dock_area, the_widget->the_dock);

Where the_widget is a wrapper around a QDockWidget *the_dock.
