anyone else been bitten by QTabBar expansion behavior in Qt 4.x?
Message 1 in thread
I filed a bug on this (140578).
For Qt 4.2, the behavior of tabs has changed, and now they are forced to
have the same tab size, regardless of the sizeHint() method. This comes
down to an "expansive" flag in qtabbar.cpp getting set to true for the
interior tabs, with no way to turn it off.
This results in tab bars with lots of tabs now using too much space. Tab
bars that fit properly in the available space looked right in Qt 4.1,
but now end up looking squashed in 4.2. I don't think the bug
description does this problem justice.
