    Description

      Consider the following code :

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QFormLayout>
      #include <QPlainTextEdit>
      #include <QLineEdit>
      #include <QDialog>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication a(argc, argv);
          QDialog w;
      
          QFormLayout lay{&w};
          QLineEdit w1{&w};
          QPlainTextEdit w2{&w};
          w2.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
          w2.setMinimumHeight(300);
          w2.setMaximumHeight(30000);
      
          lay.addRow("foo", &w1);
          lay.addRow("bar", &w2);
      
          w.show();
      
          return a.exec();
      }
      

      Even though the textedit's maximumHeight is set to 30000, whenever the windows grows, the height of the widget won't ever go past its minimumHeight.

      The same thing with a QGridLayout works as expected :

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QFormLayout>
      #include <QPlainTextEdit>
      #include <QLineEdit>
      #include <QDialog>
      #include <QLabel>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication a(argc, argv);
          QDialog w;
      
          QGridLayout lay{&w};
          QLineEdit w1{&w};
          QPlainTextEdit w2{&w};
          w2.setMinimumHeight(300);
          w2.setMaximumHeight(30000);
      
          lay.addWidget(new QLabel("foo"), 0, 0, 1, 1);
          lay.addWidget(&w1, 0, 1, 1, 1);
          lay.addWidget(new QLabel("bar"), 1, 0, 1, 1);
          lay.addWidget(&w2, 1, 1, 1, 1);
      
          w.show();
      
          return a.exec();
      }
