QTableWidget's width behaves strangely when applying any CSS

[A Former User]

Hello,
I've been creating a memory view as part of my current project. It consists of a vertical header indicating Addresses that end with 0x0 and a horizontal header indication the bytewise offsets (0x0 - 0xF). Therefore the item grid is 16 x 16 item cells in size.
When I apply any CSS to my UI the TableWidget resizes. Even when no CSS affects the TableWidget. The table only remains in its intended size when launching the app without any CSS. Changing the horizontal header's width inside my CSS will vanish the header.

Bad table width with CSS

Are you sure about that ?
since it changes color it means its affected so please show your CSS.

if you use QWidget as selector inside CSS it will also change the TableWidget.

Yes, very sure.
Below is a screenshot of my CSS only affecting the text color of PushButtons.

The CSS below is the one i'm currently working on

Hi
Hmm, i tried your stylesheet but i cant replicate the size change.

For me it stays same size so not sure what you are seeing.

Check QTableWidget font, before css and after.

Just changed the font to Consolas.
Anyways, adding

ui->tableWidget_memory->horizontalHeader()->resizeSections(QHeaderView::ResizeMode::ResizeToContents);

to my code solved this problem.
