    Description

      The title bar of a QWizard is much higher than that of a native wizard when using QWizard::AeroStyle. The problem can be seen with Qt 5.2.0 and Qt 4.8.5 compiled with VS2012 on Windows 7.

      The height is correct if Qt is compiled with VS2008 or VS2010.

      There's also an issue with adjusting the height of the wizard that seems to be related to the title bar heigh. When you move the mouse on top of the title bar, it’s possible to change the height of the wizard also from the middle of the title bar (as normally it would only be possible from the top edge of the title bar).

      Attached image shows the difference between compiler versions.

      Could it be that WM_NCCALCSIZE can’t have negative values with VS2012?
