Ok, I have looked at the source code now. The feature is called "detect Windows 10 tablet mode" (see commit d377f14fd5b4fe3ed64392c6b743bac395f9f891) and it is used as part of the Windows look-and-feel integration to determine how to show maximised windows. You may not like it and you may not use it, but a lot of new Windows 10 ultrabooks are convertible and the screen can be detached. In my book, that's a Windows feature. Conclusion: the feature is legitimate. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
