Font rendering glitch in Qt Assistant

I don't really know where to report this so please bear with me.

The Qt Assistant v5.6.2 has problems rendering documentation generated with KApiDocs, in particular viewing entries from the "File List"

See the attached screenshot.

I'm only seeing this with documentation generated with KApiDox (even git/master/head), it seems to be independent of the font used, and it happens on Linux/X11 and Mac/Cocoa (i.e. with the Freetype and CoreText font engines).

Is this a known issue in Qt Assistant or an issue in one of KApiDox's css sheets?

Hi,

Could you try again against the current master? I cannot reproduce your issue
Comment 2 RJVB 2017-05-02 20:17:52 UTC
Current master of what?

Are you by any chance running the Assistant built with QtWebKit support? I have learnt since submitting this ticket that doing that prevents the issue.

That's no more than a workaround though because sooner or later WebKit support will be removed from the sources.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2018-12-21 02:44:25 UTC
Is the output of kapidox in HTML format also for usage in Assistant?
Comment 4 Olivier Churlaud 2018-12-21 08:17:56 UTC
Yes it is used for QtAssistant.
Comment 5 RJVB 2018-12-21 08:41:19 UTC
Indirectly, yes. It's that output which is compiled into a single .qch file.

In the meantime, WebKit support is still present in the Assistant (even in the dev branch), and with talk of re-integrating the rebooted QtWebKit it is no longer so likely to disappear.
