Speaking from a Windows user perspective, Qt interfaces feel near-native, much unlike Gtk interfaces, where many of the little details don't quite match native behavior.

But there is this massively annoying little bug where submenus close immediately when you hover another top menu item before reaching the submenu. This makes quickly navigating menus quite cumbersome. (Doesn't happen with native Windows interfaces.)

Does anybody know if the Qt devs are aware of this? Don't they think of it as an issue?



Am I correct thinking you are talking about this bug? https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-20094

If so, then yes they are aware of it and treating it as critical.

Edit: Reading into this bug is so cool. This video was linked from it, fascinating stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90NsjKvz9Ns&t=18m46s


Exactly, yes! Thank you! This really is fascinating. So the problem is fundamentally solved since 1986. Let's hope Qt will follow soon! :)
