    I have a main window. I open sub window through the main window(menu->new window) .The sub-window is a vertical layout which consists of stacked widget, sidebar-frame . In windows , if i open sub-window through main window it opens properly (with all items at proper position). In Linux ,if I open sub-window through main window it does not open as it opens in windows. In Linux all the items,push-button, label shrinks when new sub window is opened . If i click the sub-window once using mouse it appears properly without shrink. How to make a sub-window click while opening it ?
    Or is there any other way to do so ?
    Before clicking . After click it looks like these.

      Hi,

      How are you building your sub window ?

          Did you put all the widgets in layouts ?
