Question

I have a many bugs at simple QSS(Qt style sheets). Is it bugs of Qt?

Example:

Style sheets:

#check1 {
  color: red                  //didn't work here
}

#check2 {
  color: red;                 //but work here
  background-color: black
}

#label1 {
  color: blue;
  text-decoration: underline  //work fine here
} 

#label2:hover {
  color: blue; 
  text-decoration: underline  //but didn't work here
}

Sources:

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    app.setStyleSheet(" #check1 {color: red} \
                        #check2 {color: red; background-color: black}  \
                        #label1 {color: blue; text-decoration: underline}  \
                        #label2:hover {color: blue; text-decoration: underline}");
    QWidget w; w.setFixedSize(120,130);

    QCheckBox check1("checkbox1",&w);
    check1.setObjectName("check1");
    check1.move(10,0);

    QCheckBox check2("checkbox1",&w);
    check2.setObjectName("check2");
    check2.move(10,30);

    QLabel label1("label1", &w);
    label1.setObjectName("label1");
    label1.move(10,60);

    QLabel label2("label2", &w);
    label2.setObjectName("label2");
    label2.move(10,90);
    w.show();

    return app.exec();
}

For the first checkbox, the problem is somewhere in the Gtk+ style:

QLabel, QPushButton or QCheckBox don’t support font changes (including text-decoration) in the :hover pseudo-state css selector. The simplest widget that does seems to be QToolButton (which could be used to replace the QLabels if you really need that).

Palette changes (foreground and background colors and styles) for that state are supported by all the widgets.
