Hello,

I have rebased the Fedora package on the 1.23.4 version and removed all the patches that had accumulated in between (spec file here).
Today I was working with some tables with multiple columns and while trying to select which of them to use for a plot, I realized I was unable to do that via the "Plot Associations…" menu. Whenever I click on it, the "Plot details" window closes and nothing else happens.

Can anyone else reproduce this? Was it fixed in a later commit and I've missed it?

    This is reproducible here (Slackware 14.2, SciDAVis 1.23.4).

    Only adding the steps to reproduce:
    - from a table, plot a graph;
    - double-click on a curve;
    - click on "Plot Associations..."
    → the "Plot details" window closes and nothing else happens

    This is a Qt4 only bug, probably due (not confirmed) to a bug in Qt4 version of QMdiArea.
    Qt5 version of scidavis does not have this bug.
    I strongly encourage you to compile/use the Qt5 version.
    It should have less bugs and, in my system, it runs the regression test more than 4 times faster than the Qt4 version.

      I strongly encourage you to compile/use the Qt5 version.

      I will ping the qwt maintainer again for a qwt5-qt5 subpackage. Before that happens (or SciDAVis moves to qwt6) I can't really do anything on my end.
      I will report again when I hear back.

    I can confirm that building against Qt5 solves the problem.

    The attached patch fixes the bug in Qt4.
