Right-clicking on any text on a webpage viewed with QWebView on Windows selects the word under the cursor. I want to disable this behaviour, but can’t find any reference in the docs.
This preference looks to be deep into Webkit (the engine that powers
QWebViewand Google Chrome among many others). There is a Webkit bug that involves a bit of discussion around the desired behaviour on right-clicking some text, but this discussion (and subsequent changes) occurred after Webkit was branched to create QtWebkitRelease20 (the version released with Qt 4.7.x) – I think this is why the behaviour you want is visible in Chrome but not Qt. There is another upcoming branch, QtWebkitRelease22, which will be included as part of Qt 4.8 – I think the change you’re after will be implemented in that release.So your options as I see them are either:
QWidget::setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::NoContextMenu)will do the job if so.QWebView::selectionChanged()signaland then usefindText("")to force a deselection.
