When I use a style sheet to define a font-size larger than the default for a QTableWidget's horizontal header, the text gets cropped. This happens regardless of whether I elideLeft, elideMiddle, or elideRight.



Qt Code: 
  1. QString header_styleSheet = "::section {" // "QHeaderView::section {"
  2.                      "spacing: 1px;"
  3.                      "background-color: orange;"
  4.                      "color: purple;"
  5.                      "border: 1px solid purple;"
  6.                      "margin: 1px;"
  7.                      "font-family: arial;"
  8.                      "font-size: 18px; }";
  9.  
  10.          splitTimes->horizontalHeader()->setStyleSheet(header_styleSheet);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Here's what the header looks like with 18 px font:

versus a 12 px font:

It's like the eliding code isn't aware of the font-size that was applied with the stylesheet.

I saw the same type of thing for horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);

Is there something I need to do to change the horizontal header font size other that using a style sheet to avoid this?

Thanks,
