How to prevent QTextBrowser/QTextDocument from blocking?

[Berryblue031]

I am using QTextBrowser to display some large html pages.

Before I show the data, I spawn a little QMovie loading indicator, and then I call

class ResultBrowser : public QTextBrowser
{
 
void showcontent(const QString& s);
QTextDocument mTextDocument;
 
};
 
void ResultBrowser::showcontent(const QString& s)
{
  //I use a QTextDocument for my stylesheet
  mTextDocument->setHtml(s);
  setDocument(mTextDocument);
}

class ResultBrowser : public QTextBrowser
{

void showcontent(const QString& s);
QTextDocument mTextDocument;
 
};

void ResultBrowser::showcontent(const QString& s)
{
  //I use a QTextDocument for my stylesheet
  mTextDocument->setHtml(s);
  setDocument(mTextDocument);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Sadly this causes some blocking which causes the loading indicator to pause. I attempted to call my showcontent function through QtConcurrent::run, but it crashes due to events being triggered from the wrong thread.

Suggestions?
