I thought there was a simple way to do this but I haven't found one yet. What I want to do is to allow my QTextEdit content to use the whole area. It seems like there's a text margin of a few pixels by default and I have no idea how to remove it. The following picture displays my problem with the text margin:

I couldn't find anything super useful in the help section of Qt Creator so I thought maybe setting the style sheet was a good idea but nope. If I set a margin, it only applies to the textedit itself, obviously.

Padding only applies a padding to the textedit itself, at the same time giving the content a kind of margin.

This isn't surprising since QTextEdit supports the box model.
I've also tried to set the content margins

Qt Code: 
  1. textedit->setContentMargins(0,0,0,0);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

without success.
So my question is, how to remove the text margin in a QTextEdit?

Thanks!
