Funny you should say that. I actually wish this was true, but take a look at the sad history of QTBUG-52108 for an example of how it really is. A new feature came out in 5.6 in a state that made it unusable from the start and it also broke some previous stuff on the way. With new releases it deteriorated further and now there's an unusable feature and no fixes for either the regressions or the new bugs. At this point I don't expect it to ever get fixed as it's "just" P2. This seems to be the norm for the last few releases - one step forward two steps back. > Also note that everyone has their own favorite bugs Sure, but there are bugs and then there are bugs. I totally get that some missing links in the doc (QTBUG-69484) are just tiny inconvenience and not a big deal to overwhelming most, but something like basic mouse events not working correctly (QTBUG-68221) or crashes and memory leaks on something as fundamental as docking a window in a window framework kinda is a big deal to me. Anyway, I really don't want to stretch this rant. I'm just bummed about the degrading quality of my favorite framework and I hoped I'm not the only one that noticed. But maybe I am. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
