Title: PJSR: ComboBox item layout on Win 7?
Post by: mschuster on 2014 December 25 16:29:15

Hi Juan,

The vertical spacing of text items in ComboBox on Win 7 1123 seems wrong, which results in extra blank space at the bottom of the popup. The items appear to be spaced too closely together vertically. See pic. Happens in both scripts and core process dialogs.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

This is one of the long standing, style sheet related Qt bugs that we have been suffering for years. Since nobody seems interested in fixing this type of bugs in Qt 4, I have no hope to see it fixed.

I plan to make the transition to Qt 5, now that it looks reasonably mature (fingers crossed, hands and feet), in 2015. Qt 5 should be a major improvement in many areas, although widget-based desktop applications are not a priority nowadays, and the people that lead Qt development are no exception (development is mainly focused on mobile devices, which is where the money is)...

Hi Juan,

In 1171 Win7, ComboBox vertical layout in PJSR dialogs remains a problem (especially when UI scaling factor > 1).

On the other hand, in process windows (ImageIntegration, Scale estimator) vertical layout look fine.

Thanks,
Mike
