I created a table of 5 cell and set width of each to 50.

QVector<QTextLength> columnWidth;
const QVector<int> width = { 50,50,50,50,50};

for(int i = 0; i < width.size(); ++i)
columnWidth.append(QTextLength(QTextLength::FixedL ength, width[i]));

QTextTableFormat *tableFormat = new QTextTableFormat();
tableFormat->setColumnWidthConstraints(columnWidth);
QTextTable* newTable=cursor.insertTable(1, 5, *tableFormat);

newTable->mergeCells(0,1,1,2);
In the QTextEdit view everything looks normal and the table looks like:
2017-02-15_16h14_08.jpg

However after saving and reopening the html, it becomes:
2017-02-15_16h14_54.jpg

Checking on the HTML code it generates, looks like the width for the merged cell is not set. What should I do?
