[PyQt] Fwd: QValidator fixup issue

[Kerri Reno]

Good afternoon,

Following is my code to validate an account code, and add dashes at certain
intervals.  An example account code is 140-100-1000-6610-543.    The code
takes the regex: \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}-\d{4}-\d{3] and allows the user to type
in numbers, and where there is a dash in the regex, it places the dash for
the user.  Or rather, it should.  On our production server (('Qt version:',
'4.8.1'), ('SIP version:', '4.13.2'), ('PyQt version:', '4.9.1')) it does
work. Our dev server is upgraded to ('Qt version:', '4.8.6'),  ('SIP
version:', '4.15.5'), ('PyQt version:', '4.10.4') and it doesn't work there.

On each server, I type in 140.  On the production (older version), the line
edit value changes to 140-.  On the newer version development server, it
does not add the dash.

Please let me know if you see my issue, and let me know if this is a PyQT
issue, or a QT issue.

Thanks in advance!
Kerri
