Does the problem only occur with the native style? Which style is the
native one on your system? Can you try it with another one by passing
the -style option on the command line, like this example?

  python your_program.py -style cleanlooks

You need to change your code to ensure that the command line arguments
are processed by Qt:

    import sys
    from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    widget = QtGui.QTreeWidget()
    item = QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(widget, ['x'*8])
    item.setFlags(QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEditable | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEnabled)
    widget.show()
    app.exec_()
