LineEdit doesn't receive OnTextChanged event when inside a GroupBox

Author: rbeerCreated Jan 19, 2024Updated Dec 8, 2024

When adding a declarative LineEdit to a GroupBox, the LineEdit's OnTextChanged handler isn't called.

  1. Run below sample code
  2. Enter '123' in left LineEdit (both handlers are called)
  3. Enter '123' in the right LineEdit, inside the GoupBox (only OnEditingFinished is called)
