So it is not a bug, but expected behavior.

What other background than the background provided by the viewport could be styled with setStyleSheet on a text exit? The viewport is not even accessible from Designer. Or should you use the child-of selector in style sheet instead?
edit->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit QWidget {background-image:url(:/images/bg.jpg);}"); That looks weird. And why would that only be needed for the background image? Setting the color of the text or even of the background, which is also rendered on the view port, *does* work directly. I feel we really have a bug on our hands here.
