This discussion sounds familiar: http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2007-11/thread00454-0.html It may also be related to the problem described in this task, though the problem is quite different: http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=177005&method=entry It's almost certainly a Qt issue more than a PyQt issue, so Simone may want to report it through the Task Tracker. In the meantime, the event filter workaround might be worth doing - I'm sure someone can post an example that shows how this is done.
