Qt 5 on OS X: raise() doesn't work anymore?

[agarny]

Hi,

I have just converted my project to Qt 5 and, in some cases, I need to bring my application to the foreground. With Qt 4.8, I used to have:

activateWindow();
raise();

activateWindow();
raise();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and it would nicely bring application to the foreground. However, the above code doesn't work anymore using Qt 5. Anyone, any ideas?

Cheers, Alan.

FWIW, it seems to be yet another bug in Qt 5. I have filed a bug report for it: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-29087.

Hi agarny,

Did you make any progress on this issue or find a workaround ? I try to migrate my project over Qt 5 and I'm block by this issue.

I will try to look at Qt code and if I come back with something I will let you know as well.

Cheers,
John

Unfortunately, no. The Qt guys seem to be completely ignoring this bug (and a few others)...

FWIW, this issue has now been addressed by the Qt team.
