[Qt-interest] QtextEdit fills up !?!?

[emmanuel_mayssat at lynceantech.com]

Hello,

I use a QTextEdit for  output redirection of one of my shell program.
That program can run for days and in verbose/debugging mode.
When I run the program for 2 days, the entire Qt application is geyed and not responding.

I suspect it comes from the QTextEdit which fills up until ... 

is there a way to limit a TExtEdit to 5000 char for example, like we would specify ifor a
terminal?

Thanks,
