Translated title of QGroupBox larger in width than QGroupbox

HappyCoder

Hi,
we have a software for our customers and now we got back the first
translations from our company representation outside of Germany.
The german and english title of the group box looks nice but the
spanish title is very long. Currently the title is not completely visible,
some characters on the right side are missing.

The groupbox is in a QTabWidget with a vertical layout.
The title of each groupbox is set to bold using stylesheets.
The normal text with the groupbox is not bold.

I tried to calc the width using QFontMetrics, but however, the calculated size was
smaler the the current width of the groupbox, what makes no sence.

How can i achieve that the groupbox resize that the full bold title is visible?
Thx

I think you might have spotted a bug. the problem looks like is in QGroupBox::minimumSizeHint() try subclassing QGroupBox and reimplementing virtual QSize QGroupBox::minimumSizeHint() const override

QSize QGroupBox::minimumSizeHint() const
{
QStyleOptionGroupBox option;
        initStyleOption(&option);

         //QFontMetrics metrics(fontMetrics());  // Wrong
         QFontMetrics metrics(option.fontMetrics); //Right

        int baseWidth = metrics.width(title()) + metrics.width(QLatin1Char(' '));
        int baseHeight = metrics.height();
        if (isCheckable()) {
            baseWidth += style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_IndicatorWidth);
            baseWidth += style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_CheckBoxLabelSpacing);
            baseHeight = qMax(baseHeight, style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_IndicatorHeight));
        }

        QSize size = style()->sizeFromContents(QStyle::CT_GroupBox, &option, QSize(baseWidth, baseHeight), this);
        return size.expandedTo(QWidget::minimumSizeHint());
    }

(you probably could even use const QFontMetrics& metrics=option.fontMetrics; here or use option.fontMetrics directly where metrics is used) if this fixes your problem it might be worth opening a bug report so that it will be fixed in futre Qt versions
