QStatusBar height

[regular]

Hi,

I have a small issue with QStatusBar. It seems to have a bit bigger height than it is supposed to:

Here's the code that creates it:

QToolButton *abt = new QToolButton(this);
	abt->setDefaultAction(aboutAction);
 
	QLabel *gridSpacingLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Grid Spacing:  20"));
	QLabel *xPosLabel = new QLabel(tr(" X: 640 "));
	QLabel *yPosLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Y: 640 "));
	QLabel *widthLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Width: 640 "));
	QLabel *heightLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Height: 480 "));
	QLabel *unsavedDataLabel = new QLabel();
	QPixmap pixmap(":changes.png");
	unsavedDataLabel->setPixmap(pixmap);
 
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(abt);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(gridSpacingLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(xPosLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(yPosLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(widthLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(heightLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(unsavedDataLabel);

QToolButton *abt = new QToolButton(this);
	abt->setDefaultAction(aboutAction);

	QLabel *gridSpacingLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Grid Spacing:  20"));
	QLabel *xPosLabel = new QLabel(tr(" X: 640 "));
	QLabel *yPosLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Y: 640 "));
	QLabel *widthLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Width: 640 "));
	QLabel *heightLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Height: 480 "));
	QLabel *unsavedDataLabel = new QLabel();
	QPixmap pixmap(":changes.png");
	unsavedDataLabel->setPixmap(pixmap);

	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(abt);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(gridSpacingLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(xPosLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(yPosLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(widthLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(heightLabel);
	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(unsavedDataLabel);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I tried the following (separately) and other sizePolicy combinations but none seem to remove that strip at the top.

statusBar()->setMaximumHeight(20);
	statusBar()->layout()->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
	statusBar()->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, QSizePolicy::Maximum);

statusBar()->setMaximumHeight(20);
	statusBar()->layout()->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
	statusBar()->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, QSizePolicy::Maximum);

I am looking for something like this (from Notepad++):

That strip at the top is probably the bottom of the frame around your main window's central widget. (QScrollArea, maybe?) My app, which uses a QTabWidget as the central widget, does not have this extra space on the status bar. The other major difference between your status bar and mine is that you place a pixmap on it, but that shouldn't cause what you see.
