Designer Layout not scaling properly!!!!!

[DouglinhasZN]

This is extremely frustrating.
I am trying to space the checkboxes accordingly, but the layout grids make it extremely hard and annoying to even utilise it.
I cant change the size of spacing or any other object in the form if its in layout.
Can someone help? I've tried everything i could fine.

For example in this image, I cant make the size of that top layout box smaller in height.

I tried to fix it by editing the layout bottom marging but the error persists when I open the file in my Linux laptop:

the error being that items in the program doesnt get displayed

EDIT: Unlocked again. They might be separate issues actually. Could you copy+paste the contents of you *.ui file here?

I tried posting it here, but it was too long:

@DouglinhasZN
Actually that is the generated code.
It would be more fun to see the CVE_Design.ui file as we can then open it op and look. (with Designer)

Hi
To alter how Widget share the space, you use the stretch factor

that allows each widget to take a bigger or less share instead of dividing it equally.

If you need more help after trying @mrjj's solution, please post the XML code from the *.ui file.

No need to post in bits; if it's too long to fit in the forum then an external host is fine.

@mrjj Hey thanks for that, really helpeful. Unfortunately I dont have that in some of my layouts. What I did is, I used LayoutBottomMargin instead. That seems to have worked. However, I still get the text cut off when I open it on my linux laptop. Could it be a compability issue with Linux? Or perhaps a screen one seeing how its a laptop screen whereas my pc has a 35" widescreen?
Here's the UI File. I appreciate the help guys
