Hi,

It's true that if you will rotate the graphics item then it's bounding rectangle will change.
It's a correct behavior. You will come to know if you will draw one rectangle inside your graphics item.

When item is rotated, it changes it's bounding rect to accomdate the complete item inside it.

Please try with polygon.

if the rectangle is rotated, a QRect (which is always parallel to the axes) needs to be larger to contain it. Just draw it on a piece of paper and you will see.

There is no way around that.
Perhaps you can use shape() instead?
