Why QSpinBox get focus when focusPolicy = NoFocus

Question

Why QSpinBox receives focus at pressed Shift + Tab? How to fix? Example:

Create a form as in picture 1.
Set spinBox_2 and pushButton_2 focusPolicy = NoFocus
Start, and try to press Tab several times, and to press Shift+Tab.
We see that spinBox_2 get focus.

OC: windows 10. Qt 5.12.3.

in *.ui file mainwindow.ui

     <widget class="QSpinBox" name="spinBox_2">
      <property name="focusPolicy">
       <enum>Qt::NoFocus</enum>
      </property>
     </widget>
    </item>
    <item row="1" column="0">
     <widget class="QPushButton" name="pushButton_2">
      <property name="focusPolicy">
       <enum>Qt::NoFocus</enum>
      </property>
      <property name="text">
       <string>PushButton</string>
      </property>
     </widget>
    </item>

Tried with Qt 5.12 on Windows, I do not have this issue. Which Qt version and OS are you using? — Benjamin T, Jul 05 '19 at 09:01
My bad, I was able to reproduce it, very weird. Also in my case, when pressing Shift Tab, the QPushButton does not get focus. — Benjamin T, Jul 05 '19 at 10:46

Maybe you can set the focusPolicy = ClickFocus? – xtcuser Jul 05 '19 at 08:58
