Did CopperSpice fix it?

Hopefully, in their "spare" time, the CopperSpice developers are removing/fixing the "single threadedness" of Qt.

Only being able to paint in the main event loop is a severe flaw.

The lack of non-main-event-loop tests for objects hindered progress. Most all of the testing scenarios happened in the main event loop, not off in a thread. As a result, queued events aren't really tested.

Probably the one that stuck in my craw the hardest was QSqlTableModel and really all of the QSql stuff. They are mostly forcing database I/O to occur in the main event loop. When your database is a data warehouse that may have cold storage, this locks the UI until a robot or operator mounts the storage media. UI can lock up with a multi-user hot database too. You just need to find yourself waiting in the transaction queue behind a dozen large requests issued by other users . . . or a DBA adding an index to a very large table.

As anyone on the team looks at any section of the codebase, we modernize the code, remove undefined behavior and improve functionality. We have added this issue on our roadmap.

There are several areas of the event system which would benefit from multithreading improvements. We are considering various options to address these.
