    Description

      Control widgets like QListWidget, QLineEdit, QPlainTextEdit, QComboBox, QSpinBox, QCheckBox and others are missing their frames/borders on some sides if high-dpi is enabled and OS scaling is enabled too.

      The missing borders differ on Windows and Linux and different OS scaling settings. And even different sizes or placement/alignments of the control widgets inside their parent window can cause this issue.

      Some control widget like QSpinBox or QCheckBox only show missing borders if they are clicked or checked. Others like QLineEdit show missing borders if mouse moves over the control widget (for later check QT "Line Edits Example").

      Please run following minimal example application on different OS's with different scaling settings to see the issue:

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QListWidget>
      #include <QPlainTextEdit>
      #include <QLabel>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      //    QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_DisableHighDpiScaling);
          QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
      
          QApplication a(argc, argv);
          QWidget w;
          w.setGeometry(0,0,890,450);
      
          QLabel Label(&w);
          Label.setText("High DPI enabled - Linux KDE Plasma 150% scaling");
          Label.setGeometry(290,10,350,30);
