StyleSheets/QTabBar -- max-width property not respected.

[momesana]

I want to restrict the min- and max-width of a Tab in a QTabBar to a certain range. The min-width property is being respected whereas the max-width property is being ignored. The docs list a bunch of widgets that support these properties and the list is identical for both. QTabBar is not explicitly listed but elsewhere in the docs min-width is being used to set the min-width of a QTabBar. Thus one would assume that QTabBar is able to support both properties. I want the text to be elided if the size exceeds the max-width value. I can use elidedText() but using stylesheets would be way more convenient.
Any ideas?

Thanx in advance

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
 
void setStyleSheet();
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    setStyleSheet();
    QMainWindow mw;
    mw.showMaximized();
    QTabWidget* tabWidget = new QTabWidget;
    QString s = "a";
    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) tabWidget->addTab(new QWidget(), s += s);
    mw.setCentralWidget(tabWidget);
    mw.show();
    return app.exec();
}
 
void setStyleSheet()
{
    QString style;
    QTextStream stream(&style);
 
    stream    << "QTabWidget::pane {"
    << "border-top: 2px solid darkgray;"
    << "}"
    << "QTabBar::tab {"
    << "margin-top:3px;"
    << "background-color: white;"
    << "border: 1px solid darkgray;"
    << "margin-left: 2px;"
    << "border-top-right-radius: 10%;"
    << "border-top-left-radius: 10%;"
    << "padding: 5px;"
    << "min-width:100px;"
    << "max-width:130px;"
    << "}";
 
    qApp->setStyleSheet(style);
}

#include <QApplication>

    QString s = "a";
    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) tabWidget->addTab(new QWidget(), s += s);
    mw.setCentralWidget(tabWidget);
    mw.show();
    return app.exec();

    QString style;
    QTextStream stream(&style);

    stream    << "QTabWidget::pane {"

    << "}"
    << "QTabBar::tab {"
    << "margin-top:3px;"

    << "margin-left: 2px;"
    << "border-top-right-radius: 10%;"
    << "border-top-left-radius: 10%;"
    << "padding: 5px;"
    << "min-width:100px;"
    << "max-width:130px;"
    << "}";

    qApp->setStyleSheet(style);
}

If QTabBar isn't listed then I suspect there is a reason for that.
