Problem with QTabBar's size
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
I'm using QT 4.2 for my development.
I have a problem with the QTabBar. If I resize the window that contains the
QTabBar, the tab's also grow and shrink.
How can I change/disable that behaviour?

You can't. I filed a bug against this some months ago (it wreaks havok
with my interface as well). This new behavior (which wasn't in 4.1)
seems to be hard-coded into the tab layout. I argued at length with an
engineer about this who didn't seem to "get" my concern.
It would be easy enough to add a flag to the tab bar to control this
behavior (or, better yet, using a style hint), but I try to avoid
messing with the qt code given the frequency they change it.
Feel free to go look up my bug using the bug search and add your own
comments to it.

Thanks for your answer.
The problem does only exist at QTabBar - QTabWidget works fine.
And that surprises me because I thought that QTabWidget uses QTabBar
internally.

It does, but it seems to be behaving consistently for me with QTabWidget
as well.

QTabWidget does use QTabBar (at least in Qt4), so I guess whatever your
problem is, the answer might be in the qtabwidget source code.
