Unable to edit widgets in a multipage frame

Hey guys,

I discovered a bug that must have been introduced very recently. It regards multipage frames in the virtual console. After a page switch it is no longer possible to edit widgets that are in the frame.
Steps to reproduce (have a look at the attached workspace):
  1. Turn around slider in the frame on page one (works as expected)
  2. Switch to page 2
  3. You are no longer able to move/edit the slider (not as expected)
Tested on Xubuntu 14.04 64Bit with the latest sources, but it is also present in QLC+ 4.10.5b.

Regards,
siegmund

Uhmm....this has to be a product of this other report:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=10606
Funny thing is you are the one who wrote it, and tested also :)

Tomorrow I'll see what's going wrong.
This is the pardigm of the "too small blanket": you pull it to cover your shoulders and your feet remain uncovered ! lol

Most probably yes - so sorry and shame on me that I didn't noticed that yet :( [I only said that the enabling issue is fixed, not that it hasn't introduced some other stuff btw :D :D ]

That reminds me of: "Just keep debugging your code, and you will finally fix it. It might not be today or tomorrow, but it will be soon."

Alright, should be fixed now for good.
I tested also the original report of enabling/disabling a frame and switching page.
Seems to be working in all cases now.

I don't know if this is a bug, but I can't seem to get widgets to stick to collapsing/collapsible/whatever frames, no matter which I put on front/back.

Is there a way to put a widget into a frame?

Thanks!

Hey, this is not the topic of the thread - please avoid hijacking in the future.
Anyway, you simply need to select the frame and add a widget. Make sure the "accept child widgets" option is enabled in the frame's properties dialog.
