Help with QMenu item stylesheet

I can't figure this out, if I apply a stylesheet to QMenu, the spacing between the menu text, and the hotkey text does not expand to adjust for the text length, but if I use the default system menu, it works as expected.

Picture of my problem:

You can see above that there is not enough space between the text, and it does not seem to expand at all. Any help would be appreciated!

CSS Code:

Code:

---

QMenu {
background-color: white;
 }
 
QMenu::item {
padding: 2px 20px 2px 20px;
border: 1px solid transparent; /* reserve space for selection border */
spacing: 20px;
 }
 
 
QMenu::item:selected {
     border-color: darkblue;
     background: rgb(53, 120, 191, 150);
	 color:white;
 }
 
QMenu::separator {
     height: 2px;
     margin: 2px 5px 2px 4px;
 }
 
QMenu::indicator {
     width: 20px;
     height: 13px;
 }

Might be prob with padding...
what if u remove the padding line ?

Removing padding makes the menu itself smaller, but the space between the text remains the same for some reason.

So if the menu looks good without you stylesheet I would incrementally add the styles.
Starting only with the white background for QMenu. Compile and check.
The add a border for QMenu::item. Compile and check again.
And so on...

It takes some time to find the error.

Causes by the border attribute. Seems to be a bug. So check the task tracker and if no report can be found, minimize your style sheet and sing up an bag report.

I minimized my stylesheet, and it seems that if I remove QMenu::item from my stylesheet, then I get the correct space between the item text and shortcut text, but I loose the padding on the sides and that means things like checkmarks on the menu end up inside the text (ugly solution.)

If I add QMenu::item, and omit padding, then the whole menu shrinks down, and I also loose the space between the text. If I add padding, it looks ok but I still do not get the normal space between the text in the menu no matter what I try.

I guess this is either some sort of bug, or I am missing something in QMenu::item? :confused:

Also, the border attribute by itself has no effect on the spacing between the text, since I can remove it and still have the same problem.

Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

maybe I missed something, but add min-width in css for QMenu::item.

That is not really satisfying and not very independent if you don't know the entries and the font size of the menu.
The strange behavior is that setting (only) a css border attribute in QMenu::item has effect on the size hint what should not be.

Have you send a report to Qt? Because this should be fixed...
