    Hello mates

    I need some hints why my widget application wrongly resizes HEAD part.
    This is compiled for Windows10:
    1WrongSize.PNG

    And this older compilation done on Windows7, and the app is installed on Win10; size is correct
    1CorrectSize.PNG

    Blue border is an overlay, a QWidget with mask set to leave just the frame you see - by the way, it perfectly highlight border of inventory widget.

    Part widget(HEAD and other parts belongs to this) is build like:

    QVBoxLayout spacing 3, margins 0, stretch 0,0,0 and SetDefaultConstraint
{
   [own GroupBox with various stuff inside] QSizePolicy minimum, minimum
   [inventory own widget] expanding, expanding
   [QSpacer <-> QPushButton <-> QSpacer in QHBoxLayout] 
}

    And these parts are in the big widget you can see on screenshots above. Its part where HEAD, CENTER TORSO and other stuff are located are build like:

    QVBoxLayout spacing 4, margins 0, stretch 0,0,0,0 and SetDefaultConstraint
{
     [HeadPart] preffered, minimum
     [CenterTorsoPart] preffered, minimum
     [Ammo info QGroupBox, it contains QScrollArea inside] expanding, expanding
     [initially hidden QWidget] preffered, preffered
}

    I have implemented sizeHint() for the inventory like:

    InventoryBase::InventoryBase(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent)
{
    SettingsContainer &settings = SettingsContainer::getInstance();
    penSize = settings.getSlotlineWidth();

    slotsCount = 1;
    slotWidth = settings.getSlotWidth();
    slotHeight = settings.getSlotHeight();
}
//#include <QDebug>
QSize InventoryBase::sizeHint() const
{
    QSize size(slotWidth + penSize, slotHeight * slotsCount + penSize);
    //qDebug() << "slots: " << slotsCount << ", size: " << size;
    //const_cast<InventoryBase*>(this)->setFixedHeight(size.height());//trochę pomaga, ale nie do końca
    return size;
}
//and have reimplemented minimumSizeHint() just to call sizeHint()

    Any idea how to approach this issue? For me is looks like some very deep widget size determining by layout(though I've provided sizeHint and minimunSizeHint), because i was able to artificially limit height of the widget, but then QGroupBox in the part widget was incorrectly oversized.

      @MasterBLB So you have two vertical layouts but somehow obtain horizontal placement. You will have to provide the UI file, or your code if done manually. The area bounded by the red bars overlaps other content in which indicates that some, or all, of the content is not in a Qt layout.

        @ChrisW67
        The area you're writing about is a separate widget, not placed in the layout.
        Well, I can't paste .ui files directly, but as xml code.

        This is how HEAD, and other parts are built (btw, can I make these text walls collapsible?)::
