Spinbox StyleSheet Margin create background shift :S

[Kytrix]

Hi,

I add the following stylesheets rules with qtdesigner:

@QWidget{
margin-top: 5px;
}

QDoubleSpinBox, QSpinBox {
background : white;
}
@
and I get the following result:

the margin shift down the background(by 5pixels) and I don't know why.
It does on QSpinbox and QDoubleSpinBox, but not on QWidget, QLineEdit ...

This is a bug ? or I misunderstand something ?

thanks to help :)

I've seen this too.
Are you using any layout and if so, can you check whats the top margin value in the layout?

The point is a different :-)

with

@
QWidget{
margin-top: 5px;
}
@

you define a general margin for all widgets, as all widgets are derived from QWidget.
The background of a widget is painted inside the margins, so it will be moved down by 5 pixel.

Perhaps a TextEdit (I think the bottom most widget is a text edit) resets this....

If I made a rule for my #item only, or QSpinBox, it does the same :/

I'm using QT 4.6.2

ok to an existing form that i was working on, I just added these 2 spin boxes and the stylesheet. They came up properly. But another graphicsview that was in a different frame ended up with a background offset. How would you explain that since I had not set background for the graphicsview?

[Kytrix]

It does exactly the same with a new frame.

and here is the code:
@#_spin1{
margin-top:5px;
}
#_spin2{
margin-bottom:5px;
}
#_spin3{
margin-left:5px;
}
#_spin4{
margin-right:5px;
}@

You can also see a display bug in the down-arrow backgroud texture (kind of backgroud-repeat) .. but i didn't use so big spinbox :D

In my case, my controls are paired label + spinbox in a form layout, so I put a margin on the label and it works.

Hi Kytrix,
One workaround would be to use a container (frame) and apply a layout to it. The layout can be set margins. The margins in stylesheet can go. That should probably help ... chk it out.
I think you can log a bug for this "here":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com

Yes I have already a Layout, but i don't want to use it margins because I made show/hide on some of my QSpinbox, ands margins stays for hidden widget (not with margin by CSS on widget).
(I can put another layout for each line, but I could not get the same with for all my spinboxs ... theys are in a formlayout with labels)

Thanks for the help, my workaround works too :)
