Possible to only use RibbonPage?

Possible to only use RibbonPage? was created by Andre Somers
Hi, I am evaluating QtitanRibbon to see if we could use it in our GUI. We are interested in the way actions are shown in different sizes and in groups on the ribbon pages, but we don't need the real ribbon with tabs and all that. We just don't have that many actions to have that make sense.

Unfortunately, our first attempt to just manually create and position a RibbonPage object results in a crash, that we can't debug because there are only release binairies in the evaluation package it seems. Would this use case be possible, or can we only create and show a RibbonPage if we put it in a RibbonBar?

Edit:
Just for illustration, Let me show you the code I'm using:
void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *e)
{
    QPoint topLeft(3, height() * 0.08 + 3);
    QPoint bottomRight(width() * 0.7, height() * 0.2 - 3 );
    QRect r(topLeft, bottomRight);
    m_page->setGeometry(r);
    qDebug() << r;
}

void MainWindow::setupRibbonPage()
{
    Qtitan::RibbonGroup* groupExamination = m_page->addGroup(tr("Examination"));
    QStyle* style = qApp->style();
    groupExamination->addAction(style->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_ComputerIcon), tr("Save"), Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);
    groupExamination->addAction(style->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_BrowserReload), tr("Cancel"), Qt::ToolButtonTextBesideIcon);
}

If I change m_page to be a QPushButton instead of a Qtitan::RibbonPage (and disable setupRibbonPage()), then all works fine. I get my button at the place I would like the ribbon page to appear. However, if m_page is a Qtitan::RibbonPage, I get a crash somewhere in the ribbon library:

We did not expected that the ribbon's pages can be used without a bar. Therefore, there is really crash in this case. The problem has already been fixed and fix will be availalbe in the next update or by request.
Also there were some problems with rendering. See attached screenshot.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this! That is great.
You see, people always come up with unexpected uses of your classes, so you'd better be prepared for that ;)

I would love to try out the fixed version if possible, so I can see if it really would work UI-wise for our case. For now, the visual glitches are not a real issue. If this would become a supported use case, I'd expect they'd be fixed at some point as well, right?

Anyway, thank you for looking into this report, I really do appreciate it. If you could make a test version available, then I'd need the MinGw build version.

Yes, of course.

Ok. I will prepare the fixed build and send it to you tomorrow (during the day) by email.

Could it be that there is another small issue with this?
The ribbon page shows up nicely in our test application, but the tooltips are not the fancy tooltips you see in the demo application.

Is this an issue with only using the RibbonPage, or do I need to explicity enable or disable this feature somewhere?
