You could clip the painting area when drawing the text, or, if you draw 
only one line of text and it is appropriate for your application, you 
could use eliding from QFontMetrics::elidedText. Unfortunately, that 
method does not support rich text. A third option is to make sure that 
your cell is big enough to fit the whole text.
