Your issue is that while your size code might be the same between
platforms, fonts and therefore font sizes are not. The fonts are usually
larger on linux. This of course results in the necessity for a larger
minimum value for your window size. The most obvious fix is to set the
minimum window size to the size for linux and not Windows.

Hi All,
First of all, I have had a look at the documentation, I've tried
various combinations of setting minimum sizes, different size
policies, calling updateGeometry() and adjustSize(), I've searched the
forum for "qwidget minimum size" and others, I've asked Google...and
I'm still stuck.
*Background*
I have a widget deriving from QScrollArea. This widget is populated
with a bunch of QGroupBox'es in a horizontal layout (the main layout
for the widget). Each QGroupBox contains buttons and/or other standard
Qt widgets and all of them have layouts assigned to them and their
content.
*The problem*
On Windows, I manage to ensure that the widget is created with the
minimum size required to display the content WITHOUT having to show
any scroll bars by setting the minimumSize property (using QtCreator
and designer) and setting both the horizontal and vertical size
policies to "Fixed". This works just fine.
However, compiling the same code on Ubuntu (12.04 LTS), the widget is
displayed with the horizontal scroll bar showing at start-up. Now, I
can obviously sort that out (for Ubuntu) by playing around with the
minimum size settings, but that kind of defeats the point of "code
once, deploy everywhere".
*The question*
Is there a way to ensure that what I see in designer is what I get? In
case this is not clear: is there a way to ensure that the widget, when
set on a parent widget or window, will look /exactly/ like it does
when viewed in designer?
*Qt details:*
QtCreator 2.4.1 based on Qt 4.7.4 (32 bit)
Thanks for your help!
