I have an application that has a "tool options" box defined in the code as a QDockWidget that floats (non-dockable), with a QStackedWidget in it that contains a series of QWidgets, each with a QGridLayout in them. The QGridLayouts contain spinboxes, labels, buttons, and checkboxes.
In a version of the program compiled with Qt 4.3, the floating DockWidget is only resizable to a size that is as small as the largest child Widget in the QStackedWidget. When I compile now with Qt 4.4.1 I have noticed that the QDockWidget can now be resized to any size, and thus causes the child widgets to get squeezed in both axes. Here is a video explaining the behavior in more detail. The first part shows the good behavior with Qt 4.3, and the second part shows the incorrect behavior with Qt 4.4.1:

Does anyone have an idea as to what changed between these two versions that would cause this issue? Thanks for the help,
