[Qt-interest] QLabel text with colon always puts colon at the front

[KC Jones]

There must be some other factor involved.  I cannot reproduce this in
my code in a trivial test.  I was able to call setText("FOO:") on one
of my QLabel widgets in my dialog's constructor immediately after the
setupUi(this) call, and it worked as expected.

Is there anything about the context where you make the call that might
be relevant?  Are there translations built in?  Is this called in a
slot after the dialog has been opened?
