    Default Limiting the display size of QPlainTextEdit

    Hi all,

    To my QFormLayout I add a QPlainTextEdit element.

    When i change the size of my Application Window using my mouse, it stretched vertically the size of my QPlainTextEdit.

    I would like to fix the QPlainTextEdit to 4 lines window.

    Default Re: Limiting the display size of QPlainTextEdit

    The default size policy for widgets such as the text edit is to grow.
    You can try setting a different size polixy, e.g. Preferred, or set a maximum height, e.g. derived from the current font via QFontMetrics.

    Cheers,
