[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53836] Clicking a QDockWidget tab in a stack does not activate the associated widget

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #53836 (project octave):

It certainly would seem that way, but I think I've found a way that doesn't
require the tabData information (see attached).  It's a bit kludgy in the
sense that


+              tbar->setCurrentIndex ((index + 1) % tbar->count ());
+              tbar->setCurrentIndex (index);


i.e., selecting some other tab and then going back to the current tab, appears
to grab the focus.  Otherwise, I can't think of any way of causing a focus
without knowing that tabData because internally the QMainWindow keeps an
associated list

info->item_list.at(i)

in which info is a structure holding the list and the info->tabBar.  I suppose
that since main_window is inheriting QMainWindow we might be able to access
some of the internal variables, but I'd rather than do that and if they are
private then they are not accessible.
