From 7dba6e0a71d090f06a6a1a39e87572674593b48a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan-Marek Glogowski Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:44:05 +0000 Subject: fdo#73115: Always run timeouts as events Right-click popup menus run click events throught the LO main loop. In case of KDE4 the LO main loop is run by a timer in the main thread, with Qt::DirectConnection execution. If the timeout actually starts a nested event loop for a new dialog, the timer is blocked, the nested mainloop detects it was started from the timeout and drops the blocked timout from polling, which blocks any further LibreOffice event loop processing. This changes the timers to Qt::QueuedConnection, so they always generate an event and are processed by the Qt event loop.
