QToolTip width

Hello !
I'm using rich-text formated QToolTip and it seems that the width of tooltip is computed incorrectly: there is a lot of extra free space. My tooltip text looks like the following:

Code:

---

<nobr><h4><u>name: Type</u></h4></nobr><br />name: value

---

Are there any ways to adjust tooltip width more precisely ?

You can write qt html && make html -> table large xx pixel...
To work on this html is you can build your hown editor... or....

Code:

---

/* require qt2 && subversion svn */
 
mkdir tmp && cd tmp
svn co https://qt-webdav.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qt-webdav/html_editor/ html
cd html
qmake && make
cd d*
./htmledit

---

On this tool you can switch source edit or Wysiwyg table & image ... only link href must make from hand.....

Could we see a screenshot?

What happens if you change the contents to:
[html]<h4><u>name: Type</u></h4>
<p>name: value</p>[/html]

Yes, here is a screenshot with the following tooltip text:

Code:

---

<h4><u>name: Type</u></h4>
<p>name: value</p>

The same tooltip can be shown in treeview at the right, and there is exactly the same effect.

Did you try to limit the width with CSS? For example by using:
[html]<h4 style="width: 100px;">xxx</h4>[/html]
You can also try:
[html]<h4 style="display:inline;">xxx</h4><br/>[/html]
What happens if you omit the h4 tag completely?

I've played more with it and found that:

1. When using rich text the tooltip always has some minimal size: if text width is smaller than it there is extra free space, it text width is larger - everything is ok
2. Each tag that adds new-line (<br />, <p>, <h1>, <table>, ...) increases this size
3. "width" property and style is completely ignored

You can reproduce it very easily: create any widget in Qt4 designer, assign tooltip with rich text to it, preview the widget and take a look at displayed tooltip.

Maybe its time for bugreport ?

Maybe it is. Looks like the "page width" is too big but I can't decrease it in any way.

I've just submitted bugreport to trolltech.
Thanks for your attention.
