If that is not your problem, it could be related to an Qt issue with 
container widgets, where the container widget itself will never receive 
certain events, but the embedded widgets (QEditLine) in this case.
A workaround is to install an event filter on those widgets (and on the 
possibly involved proxy widgets), and handle the events, you need in 
the eventFilter() method.

If you cannot follow me, just call back, and I will post some code 
fragments.
