I attach the project with the error (pruebagtk.tar.gz). Type anything on
the textbox, and the error will show (this was a GTK graphic
application).

The project inside prueba.tar.gz was created as QT graphic application;
when typing on the textbox, the key code is printed on the debug screen,
and the event is not catched by the form.

Best regards,

Carlos
