KActionCollection, menu/action reuse and the native Mac menubar

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

I'm making another attempt at raising awareness about a Qt platform limitation on Mac that has potentially severe implications for reuse of QMenus, QActions and QActionWidgets in multiple menus if one of those is attached to a native QMenuBar.

In short, the KActionCollection class is compromised on OS X, and that's not exactly a class that sees only limited use.

Some workarounds do exist, but none of them ideal AFAICT, which is why I filed a ticket to which I'm drawing some attention here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369276
