Hi,

thanks for your input. What do you think about adding some sizeHint policy to 
this? I'm thinking about as it is done for QComboBox, i.e. AdjustToContents vs. 
AdjustToContentsOnFirstShow. Translated to this use case would be to never 
return any different sizeHint (and especially never call updateGeometry()) 
after the scroll area is shown for the first time.
