QDialog with wordrap-activated Label: disfunctional Layout

**kiker99** · 10th June 2007, 00:05

Hallo,

To reproduce: create a QDialog, for example in Qt Designer, and put a Wordwrap-activated label and a button below it, and set a vertical layout for the dialog. Set the label to some text that the text gets splitted into more than one line. (it's enough if it's long enough to be splitted before the dialog reaches it's minimum size in normal layout mode)
If you then open preview mode, you'll notice that the dialog can be resized up to 0,0. This isn't normal behaviour - test it without wordwrap oder a short text in the label.

I've tested this in Qt 4.3, 4.2.1 and 4.1.4. Is this a feature? Oo
I really don't like this behaviour. I want my app to always respect the minimumSizeHints set - but also want to use the wordwrap on labels.

btw: behaviour is the same in the real app - not just Qt Designer.

thx,
andre

You most likely did something wrong...
Take a look at the attached UI. I have tested it with Qt 4.2.2 and with Qt 4.3, and I haven't found any problems.

It's the same here with your dialog. I can resize it down to 8x24 (Windowmanager minimum).

Which version are you using? On which OS did you test it?

I'm using commercial Edition 4.3/4.2.1/4.1.4 with X11 (Linux). I'll test it with open source version and Windows later today.

I tested with 4.3 and 4.2.2 commercial on Windows. It can get resized to a minimum width of 100 OR a min height of 100( but the entire text is visible ).
