=====================================================================================

When I open LXQt Appearance Configuration (/usr/bin/lxqt-config-appearance) and click on any of the choices for "Widget Style"

What I expect: row height should not change
What happened instead: clicking on bb10dark or on bb10bright causes the row height to increase so that the bottom reset and close buttons are off the screen. Clicking again on any style other than those two styles restores row height and window dimensions.

Changed affected package to lxqt-config

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

This is not a problem with the LXQt configuration, but it's a problem with qtstyleplugins-src.

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

I would also highly recommend that you file a bug upstream alerting them of this.

[Histesh Shah (chimak111)]

How do I file a bug upstream? Could you please provide details or a link?

[Histesh Shah (chimak111)]

I tried here: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1540

[Histesh Shah (chimak111)]

tsimonq, thanks for forwarding upstream. I filed as well and it was closed as a dupe of your forward: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1532

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

When I said upstream, I meant Qt.

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

lxqt-config shouldn't recommend it.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package lxqt-config - 0.13.0-0ubuntu3

---------------
lxqt-config (0.13.0-0ubuntu3) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Run wrap-and-sort.
  * Demote qt5-style-plugins to a Suggests, because some of the themes are not
    working (LP: #1785401).
