I may have described the problem not detailed enough. I want to create a 
screenshot of the webpage in the state that has been loaded by the 
user.  Therefore, the page will always have a finite height / width.

An example page, where the problem occurs, is www.heise.de - just scroll 
down until you reach the end and screenshot code will fail.

Before I resize QWebEngineView, I check that contentSize is not bigger 
than qwidget.maximumHeight. Therefore, the resize should be possible (?) 
But it fails.

I know about possible work-around (just don't resize, grab the current 
widget, set all elements withposition:fixed to non-fixed and scroll 
down, but then you have do deactivate any kind of dynamic reload so that 
no additional data is being loaded by scrolling). Therefore, I would 
like to achieve this without scrolling in the page.

I do understand that QImage and QPixmap have a maximum size and 
therefore (in case the resize work), I have to grab() the widget in 
chunks. But I don't even reach this ;)

Am I missing anything or is it just not possible?
