Problem with Groupbox in ScrollArea
-
I've got a scrollable area that contains a number of Group Boxes.
When I reduce the window size the vertical scroll bar appears and I can scroll through the display. That's fine but the first frame in the top group box shrinks so that the text doesn't display correctly on some Linux systems - Ubtuntu 24.04.03 (Noble Numbat) has this problem, whereas Lubuntu and Linux Mint work OK. Windows and macOS are also OK
I don't think this is a mistake in my UI file (I've been looking for an error for quite a while now and have failed to spot one). That first frame is defined with vertical size policy of fixed but yet it gets smaller vertically?
Here's the entire ui file:

If OTOH this is a known Linux problem, that too will be good to know.

I'm on Windows and this only happens when I set my screen scaling to something fractional, like 125%, otherwise it's fine. Do you have any scaling set?
If so I would guess it's some sort of bug in the minimum size calculation of the labels or the frame where they don't do scaling correctly (maybe they round it down to an integer factor or something like that?). -
If it's anything like on Windows the scaling is set automatically when you install the OS based on the monitor physical size and resolution, but can be then changed in the display settings. From some screenshots on google I see Ubuntu has something like that, but I'm out of my element when it comes to Linux systems.
Anyway, since it's reproducible on different systems and there's nothing wrong (that I can see) in the .ui file itself, I'd say report a bug.

@Chris-Kawa Thanks for checking the ui file. OK I'll do that tomorrow.
