Pixmap alignment in QPushButtons.

[Patrick Stinson]

I recall posting or commenting on a Qt bug report about vertical alignment or something similar, but I can’t remember what it was.

Are you saying that this behavior occurs when changing to PyQt5-5.11 but using the same Qt version? If this is a bug and actually not expected behavior then my initial suspicion would be that it is a function of Qt and not PyQt5. 

Generally speaking, Qt is not the most stable and reliable framework out there. It’s pretty good, but I would say the philosophy tends toward the new versus the stable. I have been working with it for over 20 years and expect regression bugs whenever I update to a newer version.

There were reports that this had been fixed by 5.12, but that has not been my experience. I haven’t had time to check on 5.14 yet. Everything seems to be fine on Linux, at least with 5.12.

I can make it nearly square if I increase the size to 30x30. For comparison, the QLineEdit box to the left is 21 pixels high.
