[Qt-interest] missing first character in labels

[Joost Heijne]

Dear all,

I have been struggling with the exact same issue and found only one hit
on
google, which was this old message. I was wondering if someone would
have
found a solution yet, or if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using Qt 4.7.3 on embedded linux now, but some previous versions
have shown the same symptoms.

Regards,

Joost
