QTableView with checkboxes - can't disable selections between checkboxes

[alketi]

Rather strange issue. I have a simple QTableView with one row and only checkboxes.

In my code I've done:

tableView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::NoSelection);

tableView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::NoSelection);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and in the model flags I have:

return (Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt::ItemIsEnabled);

return (Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt::ItemIsEnabled);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Yes, I'm still able to click the area between (to the right) of a checkbox and see a selection/highlight. This is the light purple color below.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way to fully disable this selection (highlighting?) behavior?
