QWindowsWindow::setGeometry: Unable to set geometry

aashish.lg

I have developed one QWebView application earlier using Qt4.8.1 SDk.
Now I have recompiled my application using VS2012 Qt SDK 5.1 64 bit.
I am getting the below mention error message in some of websites.

QWindowsWindow::setGeometry: Unable to set geometry

Please let me know what this error message represents and how to get rid out of it.

I'm in this boat too on PyQt5.

Using a QBoxLayout causes the error for me. Would love to hear of a possible solution to this issue.

Python 2.7.5, PyQt 5.1.1 compiled with Qt 5.1.1 msvc opengl on Windows 7 x64

@class Window(QWidget):
def init(self, parent=None):
super(Window, self).init(parent)

    header = QWidget()

    layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.TopToBottom, self)
    layout.addWidget(header)

if name == 'main':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

win = Window()
win.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

QWindowsWindow::setGeometry: Unable to set geometry 22x22+640+285 on 'WindowClassWindow'. Resulting geometry: 116x22+640+285 (frame: 8, 30, 8, 8, custom margin: 0, 0, 0, 0, minimum size: 22x22, maximum size: 16777215x16777215).@

I got this error/warning on Windows 8.1 and it seems to be just a matter of a limitation on the minimum size of the window (imposed by the OS or window manager) when it does not have enough space for the window title and/or standard GUI buttons.

When I set a fixed width of 100 pixels I got the error, but setting its minimun to 200 seems enought to avoid the error.
