How can I replce Qpainter::drawText with a more effecient way to draw text in a table cell

@JonB Sorry about that. I've removed the colorful gifs.

@jsulm Perhaps It's not drawText problem.
To better demonstrate the situation, I've upload two new comparable gray gifs with a simpler QWidget subclass.

Hi,

Something just came to mind: maybe QStaticText might be of interest.

@SGaist Hi, thanks. I just tried that, It's still the same.

I've no performance problem with your code on linux and windows7 (both in a VM, 64bit, Qt5.15.x)

Hi, Thank you for your attention.

Would you please take a look at the situation below ?

I've tested it with a single drawText call in paintEvent, the problem still exists.
But if I put a label on widget, the problem disappears!
main.cpp

#include <QtWidgets/QApplication>
#include "QPlainStyleTable.h"
#include "QtClass.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

//     auto _m_pTable = new QPlainStyleTable();
//     _m_pTable->SetHeaderColor(Qt::red, Qt::green);
//     _m_pTable->SetContentColor(Qt::gray, Qt::yellow, Qt::blue);
//     _m_pTable->SetBorderColor(Qt::white);
//     //_m_pTable->SetFont(QFont(u8"微软雅黑"), QFont(u8"微软雅黑"));
// 
//     _m_pTable->SetDimension(1, 1);
// 
//     _m_pTable->SetTitle({ "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" });
//     _m_pTable->AddData({ "a1", "b1", "c1", "d1", "e1`" });
//     _m_pTable->AddData({ "a2", "b2", "c2", "d2", "e2" });
//     _m_pTable->AddData({ "a3", "b3", "c3", "d3", "e3" });
//     _m_pTable->AddData({ "a4", "b4", "c4", "d4", "e4" });
//     
//     _m_pTable->show();
    auto _m_pQClass = new QtClass(nullptr);
    _m_pQClass->setFixedSize(500, 400);
    _m_pQClass->show();
    return a.exec();
}

That's the same code as above.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
Yes. It is. I thought maybe you missed the last post. Sorry about that.

I used Qt5.14.2 on Win10 VS2019.

Since no one else has the same problem. I'm about to just put a QLabel or other Qt widget to bypass it.

Thank you anyway.

@xce1 have you tried a release build with O3 ? maybe its just a debug/development issue

xce1

@J-Hilk I just tried that. It's the same as no debug.
There is a visible blank background before "Hello World" shows up
if I didn't add a QLabel in QtClass constructor.
Thank you!
