Since updating my git checkout of Qt 5.3 a few days ago to the release branch (I was previously using the stable branch as of early April) and rebuilding Qt, I noticed that I sometimes get weird text drawing problems in my application on Mac OSX 10.9.2 but not Windows 7.
If I compile my application with Qt 4.8.6, I don't see these problems on either platform. I have attached two examples of the same QPlainTextEdit subclass widget. In one, each character is drawn as a rectangle in the widget itself (though, oddly, the window's title is displayed correctly). In the other, the text is drawn normally. The only difference between the two is that the font size is a bit larger in the window with the text properly drawn. [image: Inline image 2][image: Inline image 3] If I change the text size back to what it was originally, the text is drawn wrong again. Here are printouts of the QFont after I set it: Left example, text drawn incorrectly: void WMPlainTextEdit::zoomIn(const double) QFont( "Monaco,11,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0" ) pointSizeF: 11 Right example, text drawn properly: void WMPlainTextEdit::zoomIn(const double) QFont( "Monaco,13.75,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0" ) pointSizeF: 13.75 I see the same behavior if I try using different font families, and the particular size doesn't seem to matter. For some font families, I have found multiple font sizes that cause incorrect drawing, and some I have found only one but have not tried an exhaustive search. When my application starts, all text is drawn correctly in all places. I can reproducibly cause the text in most places to start drawing wrong by bringing up a specific dialog, but there are other ways that I can get the text to start drawing wrong as well. When the text starts drawing wrong in one place it will sometimes also draw wrong in other places (eg. contextual menus, dialogs, etc.) but sometimes draw right. I have looked through the Qt bug reports and don't see anything related to this. I also tried building a few of the example projects and can't get the text to draw incorrectly using an example. My coworkers also get this behavior, and we're all running OSX 10.9.2 and using the same Qt 5.3 build. I'd create a bug report but it'll probably be ignored since I can't provide much information on how to reproduce this. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior or have any ideas where I should start to try to track down the problem? Thanks Adam
