QGraphicsWidget vs. QGraphicsRectItem

Hello,
I've got a question concerning the QGraphicsWidget. I used QGraphicsRectItem before as a base class for MyRectangle class. Now I switched to QGraphicsWidget and as it seems the rectangles on the scene are ~4px above the expected position (as compared to QGraphicsRectItem)...
Why is that? Is it possible to correct this situation?

Thanks,
Regards,
Bill

Why have you changed, because a QGraphics_XYZ_Item is in the most cases the better option since it is "lighter" than a QGraphicsWidget.

QGraphicsWidget should be positioned like every other item but be aware of the widget's window frame margins and widget's contents margins.

i think its because of ContentsMargins of QGraphicsProxyWidget

Hi,
I had to switch to QGraphicsWidget because I was struggling to draw a resize handle on my custom QGraphicsRectItem. I will only have around 10 items on the scene, so I think the performance should be ok...

Thanks for your help, I'll try to investigate the QGraphicsProxyWidget properties.
