Yup, me again, only this time with the up-to-date PyQt on the N900...

I've had this happen to me twice recently... See the screen below :



It's a simple PlainTextEdit under a couple of buttons and a Line edit. Right now it looks just fine, if a bit drab.

This is what happens if I add a style to the PTE to make its background-color yellow... just one more line in the UI file :



Much prettier, but unreadable :-)

Am I doing something stupid ? I already had something similar in another window of the same app - it was a plain, unmodified Line edit that would turn to garbage when the screen was rotated. It finally went away when I removed a splitter that shouldn't have been there anyway.

But there are no splitters in this one, and no rotation either... how can I have my yellow BG please ?...

Well, no explanation has been forthcoming, and I don't have one either.

All I can say is that something isn't playing well with styles here, because if I remove the style on the PTE, and set its "base" colour through the palette, the display is back to normal just like on the PC.

Chalk one down for the gremlins...
