When a text item is too small for the text it contains, clipping occurs if clip is false, and does not happen when it is true.

Use example below to reproduce the issue.

==============================
import Qt 4.6

Rectangle {
id: "largeRect"
color: "blue"
opacity: 1

Rectangle

{ id: "smallRect" width: parent.width / 2 height: parent.height / 2 anchors.centerIn: parent color: "red" opacity: 0.5 }

Text

{ id: "text" //////////////////////////////// // Test: Text is NOT clipped clip: true //////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////// // Test: Text IS clipped // clip: false //////////////////////////////// anchors.fill: smallRect font.bold: true font.pointSize: 20 color: "white" text: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" }

}
