Qt ItemDelegate with tool button: cannot click

Question

I use my own widget for the delegate of the item.

This widget consists of a drop-down list and a tool button, see below for the source.

Now, when I use this widget in element deletion, clicking on the tool button has no effect if there is no focus in the combo box. For a demonstration, see this video: http://youtu.be/o5AgjC4cCqY

Any idea how to handle this?

Thank you so much!

Widget Source:

QgsFieldExpressionWidget::QgsFieldExpressionWidget( QWidget *parent )
    : QWidget( parent )
{
  QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout( this );
  layout->setContentsMargins( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
  mCombo = new QComboBox( this );
  mCombo->setEditable( true );
  mCombo->setSizePolicy( QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy::Minimum );

  mButton = new QToolButton( this );
  mButton->setSizePolicy( QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Minimum );
  mButton->setIcon( QgsApplication::getThemeIcon( "/mIconExpressionEditorOpen.svg" ) );

  layout->addWidget( mCombo );
  layout->addWidget( mButton );
}

Delegate Source:

QgsComposerColumnSourceDelegate::QgsComposerColumnSourceDelegate( QgsVectorLayer* vlayer, QObject* parent ) : QItemDelegate( parent ),
    mVectorLayer( vlayer )
{

}

QWidget* QgsComposerColumnSourceDelegate::createEditor( QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
  Q_UNUSED( option );
  Q_UNUSED( index );

  QgsFieldExpressionWidget *fieldExpression = new QgsFieldExpressionWidget( parent );
  fieldExpression->setLayer( mVectorLayer );

  connect( fieldExpression, SIGNAL( fieldChanged( QString ) ), this, SLOT( commitAndCloseEditor() ) );
  return fieldExpression;
}

void QgsComposerColumnSourceDelegate::setEditorData( QWidget* editor, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
  QString field = index.model()->data( index, Qt::EditRole ).toString();

//set the value for the field combobox
  QgsFieldExpressionWidget *fieldExpression = static_cast<QgsFieldExpressionWidget*>( editor );
  fieldExpression->setField( field );
}

void QgsComposerColumnSourceDelegate::setModelData( QWidget* editor, QAbstractItemModel* model, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
  QgsFieldExpressionWidget *fieldExpression = static_cast<QgsFieldExpressionWidget*>( editor );
  QString field = fieldExpression->currentField();

  model->setData( index, field, Qt::EditRole );
}

void QgsComposerColumnSourceDelegate::updateEditorGeometry( QWidget* editor, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
  Q_UNUSED( index );
  editor->setGeometry( option.rect );
}

Add the following line to your constructor QgsFieldExpressionWidgetsomewhere after creation QComboBox:

setFocusProxy(mCombo);
