Cursor width in QLineEdit when using inputMask

[Kritika]

I am using inputMask in QLineEdit. When I execute this, the pixelWidth of cursor in QLineEdit is increased by approx 8 pixels while cursor is in normal size in other widgets. I want cursor in normal size. How can this be done?

I have also designed a class inheriting QProxyStyle class to modify pixelWidth of cursor. When I increse cursor width using this, it is working fine but doesn't work while decreasing

Your question is unclear to me.

Can you show some of your code which causes to the erroneous result?

And if you can show a screenshot of what is happening it is much better.

Hi,

AFAIK, the different pixel width is normal. It lets the users know that there's an input mask. Otherwise they will have a hard time understand why not every character they input shows on the line edit.

So isnt there any solution if i want normal pixelWidth.

Thanks SGaist.
Now i think cursor pixelWidth is not an issue to my GUI.
But I am facing another problem in this. I want this lineEdit with inputMask to work same as we have input field for IP Address, so that cursor can jump after/ before any non-space character on pressing any arrow key. For this i have used QLineEdit::setCursorPosition() method. It is working fine but cursor is not visible at random times. Can anyone tell me about this behaviour of cursor?

I'm not sure I am getting you right. Can you provide a an example ?
