I know what the problem is, but I'm not 100% sure how to fix it. The
problem is that when you set the following stylesheet:

font: bold 14px;

It will set the style to the widget and all subchildren of it, because
you did not specify to what it applies to. You need to turn it into
something like:

QTabWidget
{
	font: bold 14px;
}

That specifies that only widgets that are or inherit from QTabWidget get
the style. Of course, I'm not sure how QTabWidget works and if there is
a specific syntax to only bold the tab text or something.

You can read more about it here:

Can you point to the documentation page where did you read that? I think
it might only apply to hard-coded properties, and not stylesheets.
