[Regression][Bisected] Alt + number does not switch tabs back and forth

[Hi-Angel]

Version info:

qutebrowser v3.1.0
Git commit:
Backend: QtWebEngine 6.7, based on Chromium 118.0.5993.220 (from api)
Qt: 6.7.0

Does the bug happen if you start with --temp-basedir?: yes

Description

Some time earlier I noticed that I no longer can switch back and forth between two last tabs by pressing Alt with a number of either of them.

I just started digging into it and bisected this down to a number of commits.

Unfortunately these commits apparently haven't been tested, because each one of them either fails or crashes the browser whatsoever. So the code is not bisectable any further than that:

There are only 'skip'ped commits left to test.
The first bad commit could be any of:

We cannot bisect more!

How to reproduce

1. Run ./qutebrowser.py --temp-basedir
2. Open 2-nd tab
3. Start pressing Alt+2

Expected

The browser switches between 1-st and 2-nd tab

Actual

The browser switches to 2nd tab just once, and nothing happens anymore.

That's so weird to see the commits being dated by 2022, whereas I'm certain it is not that old, I would say I only noticed it maybe a few months ago or so…

But FTR, I didn't botch the bisection: I repeated it (this time even in a different way: by checking out good/bad commits along the main branch whereas the post was done by using stable branches as good/bad points), and I came to the exact same commits list.

Works fine for me. The bisect is misleading, those commits just reflect you switching from Qt 5 to Qt 6. If you run with --qt-wrapper pyqt5 it will probably work fine on main too.

This might just be a duplicate of #8127 I think, and the breakage was probably introduced by you upgrading to Qt 6.6.2 or maybe Qt 6.7?

Oh, I confirm, running with a --qt-wrapper PyQt5 fixes the problem!

Well, from the description I am not so sure… It seems to be about the default behavior of a keybinding being changed. But you know the code better, so if you think the underlying reason is the same, maybe so.

and the breakage was probably introduced by you upgrading to Qt 6.6.2 or maybe Qt 6.7?

Hmm, it is possible. I'm kind of afraid of downgrading it, something might break… but it does sound plausible, given you've recently fixed another bug that was related to Qt regression as well…

Works fine for me.

What Qt version do you have?
