From a logical viewpoirnt it doesn't make sense. It's a binding loop. Changing the width will re-lay out, which will change the paintedWidth, which will change the width. Practically QQuickTextItem has a catch against that (see qquicktext.cpp: internalWidthUpdate) and it will stop after the first pass without a warning. But I don't really understand how this helps anything in a reliable way. Layouts will override widths after a layout invalidation. Correctly set anchors would override it. It's almost always wrong for a component to set it's own size (as opposed to it's implict size) as the consumer of the API will inevitably change it Also, why is only PC2 affected?
