qquickwidget, ListView horizontal orientation, adding spaces without reason

deleted372

Has you can see from this image, my ListView is adding spaces... and I can't figure out why.

The Listview is contained in a QQuickWidget which lays in a QVBoxLayout.

Any help or hint is appreciated!

The data for the ListView is given via QObjectList:


class myDescriptorObject: public QObject
{
   Q_OBJECT
      Q_PROPERTY(QString tabHeader READ tabHeader CONSTANT)
      Q_PROPERTY(bool tabClosable READ tabClosable CONSTANT)

   const QString m_headerText;
   const bool m_isClosable;
public:
   myDescriptorObject(const QString& header, bool isClosable QObject* parent = nullptr);
   QString tabHeader() const { return m_headerText; }
   bool tabClosable() const { return m_isClosable; }
};

...

QList<QObject*>objList;
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Accounts", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Transactions", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Totals", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("VAT codes", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Exchange rates", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Syskey", true));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Budget", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("Documents", false));
objList.append(new myDescriptorObject("1000 USD Cash", true));
rootContext()->setContextProperty("tabsModel", QVariant::fromValue(objList));

...

The QML is this

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

Rectangle {
    id: tabBox

    property int currentIndex: -1
        
    SystemPalette { id: sysPalette; colorGroup: SystemPalette.Active }

    signal tabClicked(int index)
    signal tabClose(int index)

    function setCurrentTab(index){

Hi. Yeah maybe this could be a bug. But if its so important for you, is can be manipulated with a rectangle in qml.
