I'm trying to figure out how to force QGraphicsWidget::setGeometry to fully execute - even when I'm passing in a geometry that is exactly the same as the current geometry for that widget.

In my code I have a section that calls QGraphicsWidget::resize(width, height);
Which then internally calls QGraphicsWidget::setGeometry(width, height)
Sometimes users come across a corner case where large parts of the GUI has changed and been redrawn, but this specific part has the same geometry, thus internally the QGraphicsWidget::setGeometry call early outs, based on the following code from qgraphicswidget.cpp Ln. 344

if (newGeom == d->geom)
   return;

However the rest of my code depends on signals that are emitted from within the setGeometry function,
and in this edge case, parts of my GUI don't get drawn in correctly.

So my question is:
Is there a easy / cheap way to force the internal setGeometry function to fully execute?
I've tried the following

            mGraphicsWidget->layout()->setInstantInvalidatePropagation(true);
            mGraphicsWidget->layout()->invalidate();

But it doesn't do what I need.
Doing a...

            mGraphicsWidget->resize(0, 0);

Prior to the resize, DOES work, but it seems like an unnecessary duplication of work?

Is there a faster, more effective way of modifying the internal state of the QGraphicsWidget,
( ie. the QGraphicsLayoutItemPrivate d->geom that will allow the actual setGeometry to fully execute?)

Cheers,
James
