[Qt-interest] Possible Bug in QFontMetrics::boundingRect()

[Josiah Bryan]

Using the code below, on Linux (FC8), it produces:

     Without Space: 24, With Space: 24

On windows XP, it produces:

     Without Space: 19, With Space: 22

Basically, on linux, QFontMetrics::boundingRect() seems to totally 
ignore the space at the end of the string and return the same string 
width, regardless.

Anyone got any idea whats going on? Is it something I'm doing wrong? Or 
is this a bug in Qt? Or is it a problem with linux/my install/etc?

Thanks!

Code:
//--------------------------------------

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QFont>
#include <QFontMetrics>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);		
	QFont font;
	QFont("Sans-Serif",12);
	QFontMetrics metrics(font);
	QRect textRect1 = metrics.boundingRect("test");
	QRect textRect2 = metrics.boundingRect("test ");
	qDebug("Without Space: %d, With Space: %d", textRect1.width(), 
textRect2.width());
	return -1;
}
