Hi All,
I have a strange problem. I'm trying to design a main window for my python app, but the menu i create does not show when i try the preview function in QT Designer (using QT 4.8.5)
I am working on OSX Mavericks.
If i make a clean main window and i add a menu title and some items in that menu the menu does not always show up or shows only some of the menu items.
I seems like if i have ever used that menu name that it will work or not.
I just created a new main window and a menu called robbie with the items denise, cylla, jack and grace, preview shows the correct menu
I saved it in the project folder of my app, and preview still shows the correct menu
I changed the menu items denise into About, cylla into Preferences and grace into Quit.
When i now do a preview of my form i get the menu with only the item jack. the only item i did not change.
This is the contents of my saved window layout

I created a new main window and created the same menu with the same items, all showed up correctly in preview, then i deleted the menu and created a new one called SyncSeries with the items About, Preferences and Quit.
When i now do a preview the whole menu does not show up.
Below is the contents of the save window

I hope that there is somebody here that can tell me what is happening and how to prevent/correct this.
Kind regards.
