[Paraview] Qt 4.6 Cocoa Strangeness with ParaView 3.6.2

[Michael Jackson]

I'll state up front that I know 3.6.2 only officially supports Qt  
4.3.x but I'll go ahead with my bug report/question any ways.

   So I built Qt 4.6.1 with Cocoa (OS X) and then compiled ParaView  
3.6.2 from source using shared libraries. Everything compiles fine.  
ParaView then launches fine. I setup up some sort of pipeline (Does  
not matter what) then the strangeness happens. For example, load up a  
Box source, then glyph it.

   Now, click on the "Glyph1" to activate it. Now, click on the  
Display tab to adjust some parameter (Again, does not matter what).  
Now Click back on the "Box1" in the Pipeline Browser. Now try to click  
on the "Properties" or "Information" tabs. What happens is that the  
Object inspector windows goes blank and the Pipeline Browser elements  
all become un-selected.

   It seems the only way to select a new element in the Pipeline  
browser and have it "stick" to to actually double-click on a pipeline  
browser element. Then you can select something in the "Object  
Inspector" area.

   If I build with Qt 4.6.1 with Carbon none of this happens. I will  
assume that this is a problem with Qt itself since switching to Qt/ 
Carbon seems to fix the problem. Just wondering if anyone else has  
seen this behavior. I can reproduce it on a Mac Pro (Xeon 5500 with  
ATI 4870) and a MacBook Pro with nVidea 8600m graphics.

   What I have not tried is to go back to Qt 4.5.3 Cocoa/Carbon and  
try those to see if they work/don't work.

Thanks for any feedback.
