Designer quirks


Message 1 in thread

Qt Designer 4.2.1 behaves very strange (broken?) when using layouts and
resizing elements therein. Somehow when I use horizontal layouts with
splitters, the layout grows out of control. The only thing that helps is,
setting verything to a FIXED size. But that is very annoying, since it
doesn't allow for the user to change fonts. In Qt3 the Designer behaved
much more deterministic. To reproduce this behaviour I recommend playing
around a bit with (nested) layouts, spacers and splitters. I don't know if
this is a bug or if I am too stupid to use the designer. Any comments?

Well, I have used more qtdesigner-qt3 than qtdesigner-qt4 (anyway, no too 
mmuch of any of them), but I found the same "problem". Or I am stupid too :-(

Actually, no. I'll give it a try.

Thanks!
