#1318 TexStudio Settings Dialog has no Parent window on Windoes

[Andrew]

On Windows, the settings dialog (Options... Configure TeXstudio) is a modal dialog (which is appropriate), but this dialog does not have its 'parent' set to the main TeXstudio window. As a consequence, if the user clicks on the main TeXstudio window, this main windows comes to the front (and the modal settings dialog goes behind and is thus hidden), but the TeXstudio window remains inactive for no obvious reason. Opening the settings dialog with a parent window set should fix this.

PS: Thanks for an amazing system; I wish I'd found TeXstudio ages ago...

Which version of windows and TXS do you use? I cannot reproduce the described behavior.

[Andrew]

Tim,

Thanks for the quick response. I am on Windows 7 Enterprise, Service
Pack 1, running:

TeXstudio 2.9.4 (hg 5006:b43062855b2d)
Using Qt Version 5.4.1, compiled with Qt 5.4.1 R

I get the same behaviour with the About TeXstudio dialog, both with and
without any document open. Hope this helps,

Andrew

Thanks for the feedback. Your system is quite similar to mine. Still I cannot reproduce this.

Anyway, I've now made the main window a parent of the config dialog. You may try the attached executable. To do so, simply replace the original executable of your installation with this one.

Tim,

I have now tested the new version, which (as a double check for you)
reports itself as:

TeXstudio 2.9.5 (hg 5071:30b93777bc38)
This is a development version.
Using Qt Version 5.4.1, compiled with Qt 5.4.1 R

It still does not work for me. If I run Spy++ in Visual Studio, the
windows still has a null Parent, as shown below.

I cannot think of any reason why my machine would behave unusually
(except, perhaps, that I am not running as Admin?).

If this is a hard issue to fix (I had hoped it was trivial, but it may
be a QT quirk?), then I am sure you have more important things to focus
on...

Cheers,

Andrew

The version you tested contains the change. Note that for a test I've only changed the settings dialog not the about dialog.

[Tim Hoffmann]

The most recent snapshot should have correct parents for both the settings dialog and the about dialog:
