    Default QComboBox popup arrows [Mac OS X]

    I have noticed some strange behavior when applied the stylesheet to QComboBox on Mac OS X: changing properties like margin or padding produces arrows for the popup. Here is the code:

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QVBoxLayout>
    2. #include <QLineEdit>
    3. #include "mainwindow.h"
    4.  
    5. MainWindow::MainWindow(): QMainWindow()
    6. {
    7. QFrame *frame = new QFrame;
    8.  
    9. this->cbo1 = new QComboBox;
    10. this->setObjectName("cbo1");
    11.  
    12. this->cbo2 = new QComboBox;
    13. this->cbo2->setObjectName("cbo2");
    14.  
    15. this->cbo3 = new QComboBox;
    16. this->cbo3->setObjectName("cbo3");
    17.  
    18. for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    19. {
    20. this->cbo1->addItem("item " + QString::number(i));
    21. this->cbo2->addItem("item " + QString::number(i));
    22. this->cbo3->addItem("item " + QString::number(i));
    23. }
    24.  
    25. QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(frame);
    26. layout->addWidget(this->cbo1);
    27. layout->addWidget(this->cbo2);
    28. layout->addWidget(this->cbo3);
    29.  
    30. setCentralWidget(frame);
    31. }
    32.  
    33. MainWindow::~MainWindow()
    34. {
    35. }

    There are three comboboxes: cbo1, cbo2, cbo3. For cbo1 I didn't change neither margin nor padding, for cbo2 I changed margin-bottom and for cbo3 I changed padding-left. The stylesheet is shown below:
    Qt Code:
    1. {
    2. background-color: red;
    3. }
    4.  
    5. QComboBox#cbo2
    6. {
    7. background-color: yellow;
    8. /*margin-left: 5px;*/
    9. margin-bottom: 2px;
    10. }
    11.  
    12. QComboBox#cbo2 QAbstractItemView
    13. {
    14. background-color: yellow;
    15. margin-top: 0px;
    16. padding-top: 0px;
    17. margin-bottom: 0px;
    18. padding-bottom: 0px;
    19. background-clip: margin;
    20. outline: none;
    21. }
    22.  
    23. QComboBox#cbo3
    24. {
    25. background-color: #c0c0c0;
    26. padding-left: 5px;
    27. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    It looks like this:
    normal.png(cbo1)margin.png(cbo2)padding.png(cbo3)

    As you can see, cbo2 and cbo3 have some strange arrows in their popup. Is it possible to prevent this or change appearance of those arrows so they better fit to the control style?

    This is a Mac OS issue. I read about a work around somewhere. I recall manipulating the position of the arrow so it goes off screen, and or not setting the current item... I have no mac Os so I can't test it for you.
