QT creator drag and drop not working

[wysota]

Do you use any system hacks that might be interfering with drag and drop? Or rather, do you use any system modifications at all?

[segfault.russell]

No system hacks at all... (just test editor settings for black background, and 4 spaces instead of tab)
I ran installer, I did an update...
I have a person next to me that used the same installer...
They have the ability to just drag and drop a .cpp file into QT Creator, I do not.

I am willing to look for anything that may cause this, I am just un-sure as to where to start.
Could it be the text editor selected? I think the "Generic Highlighter" tab shows me using "Kate text editor"

thanks

I'm not asking about Qt. I'm asking about your computer.

[segfault.russell]

Drag and drop of file works on Visual Studio (same machine), so I will guess NO. But I am willing to look at anything.
Note: Drag and drop of files to open also works with Notepad, and a few other programs.

I'm accutally going to try to uninstall and re-install QT creator...

[wysota]

Don't guess. The question is really simple -- did you install any software on your computer that was meant to change in any way the looks or behaviour of your system?

[segfault.russell]

Nope. and drag and drop works on "Other" applications just fine.

I'm also having this problem. It works until I create a grid layout. After that, drag and drop no longer works. I can't move widgets or drag new ones in. Even if I undo the grid layout I need to restart Qt Designer before it works.

Windows 7 64bit. Dual monitors, no system hacks. I tried disabling Synergy but that had no affect. Qt 4.8.0.

It no longer works for me with the latest version, but does work with previous version:

Works with Qt Creator 2.3.0, Based on Qt 4.7.4 (32 bit)
No longer with Qt Creator 2.5.0, Based on Qt 4.8.1 (32 bit)

Both on Windows 7 (64-bit), running besides each other on the same machine.
