[Qt-interest] QPushButton width problems / layout issues

[Ramesh]

I don't think so, it should not create problems.
I have not tried very complex things, but most of the things worked for me.
Hey can you post the entire code generated by your UI designer header
file.i.e UI_....h file

You say that the Designer preview shows the buttons correctly but your
code does not. Does this mean that you are not using the Designer
generated .ui files in your application? Are you trying to do everything
in code?  It has been a while since I went through this so I don't
remember the details, but I have had problems trying to duplicate
Designer generated code in my own code, so I use the .ui files generated
by Designer in my applications.
