If anyone can answer this, I would appreciate it.  A link to another
mailing list that would be more specific to my problem would also be
good.  Particularly if more questions come up in the future.

I wrote an app using Qt5 Designer without layouts.  It works fine, but
resizing the screen does not reposition and resize the individual
widgets.  They stay in the upper left corner.  I would like them to resize.

I understand that I will need to use nested layouts to get the look that
I want.

My problem is with textboxes in layouts:

I have a line of 5 labels.  I can select them and add a horizontal
layout to them and it does what I expect.  I get 5 columns, each with a
label of close to the same size as the originals.

I have a row containing buttons, labels and a date selector.  If I
select them and apply a horizontal layout it also does what I would
expect.  I will need to add a spacer, or two, to get exactly what I
want, but that is easy to do.

I have ten rows of five textboxes each.  If I select a row of textboxes
and apply a horizontal layout, all of the textboxes change size to 256 x
192 (they were 60 x 26 before applying the layout.  The same thing
happens if I select a column of textboxes and apply a vertical layout,
or if I select all of the textboxes and apply a grid layout.

What do I need to do, either to the textboxes before I apply the layout,
or to the layout after application, to get the textboxes to keep their
original size (like every other control seems to) and yet resize when
the program is running and I resize the window?
