One thing you could do is to put all things that should appear together into one widget and then add that widget to the status bar.

QLabel is already a Widget but anyway e tested it with the same result.

Must be something else.

Of course a QLabel is a QWidget, but that's not what I wrote.

But since you claim you have tested my suggestion, can you show the code of how you did it?

The style puts separators between separate widgets in the status bar. If you do not want separators between your widgets in the status bar then only insert a single widget. You then have complete control over the layout of other widgets within that single widget. This is what anda_skoa suggested above, and you have not done in your code.

// You are doing the equivalent of this
    QMainWindow a;
    QStatusBar *sb = a.statusBar();
    sb->addWidget(new QLabel("A"));
    sb->addWidget(new QLabel("B"));
    sb->addWidget(new QLabel("C"));
    a.show();
 
// We are saying do this
    QMainWindow b;
    QStatusBar *sb = b.statusBar();
    QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
    layout->addWidget(new QLabel("D"));
    layout->addWidget(new QLabel("E"));
    layout->addWidget(new QLabel("F"));
    layout->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
    QWidget *container = new QWidget;
    container->setLayout(layout);
    sb->addWidget(container);
    b.show();

// You are doing the equivalent of this
    QMainWindow a;
    QStatusBar *sb = a.statusBar();
    sb->addWidget(new QLabel("A"));
    sb->addWidget(new QLabel("B"));
    sb->addWidget(new QLabel("C"));
    a.show();

// We are saying do this
    QMainWindow b;
    QStatusBar *sb = b.statusBar();
    QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
    layout->addWidget(new QLabel("D"));
    layout->addWidget(new QLabel("E"));
    layout->addWidget(new QLabel("F"));
    layout->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
    QWidget *container = new QWidget;
    container->setLayout(layout);
    sb->addWidget(container);
    b.show();
