UI elements (column widths, visibility, etc.) are reset when upgrading to Qt6 version

[dpetroff]

qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 4.4.3 x64 OS: Windows 10 Qt: 6.3.0

What is the problem?

Some time after switching to the Qt6 version, I noticed that the UI has been entirely reset and the columns have become too narrow to see file names in the content tab and add torrent dialog:

Similarly, the Added On column was removed from the torrent list.

Steps to reproduce

1. Using the Qt 5 version: resize the columns in the torrent list and content tab/add torrent dialog.
2. Add the Added On column to the torrent list
3. Use the Qt6 version to see the UI reset and squashed

Additional context

I'm not completely sure if this happened immediately when I upgraded or after some time. I certainly didn't notice it for a few days, though I didn't really use qBittorrent until today either.

Log(s) & preferences file(s)

Logs only contain networking messages and I can't be bothered to anonymise.

I experienced this problem as well. It's one thing to have all the columns reset and then deselect all the ones I don't want to see (again), but I can't adjust the width either! So, the name of my downloads are very squished yet other columns with tiny data, like a single symbol, are the width. The current behavior is literally resolution width / column count.

Same re the lock columns regards resizing qBittorrent v4.4.3.1 Plasma 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks 5.95.0 Qt 5.15.5

Can this be prioritized? I've had to switch between qt5 and qt6 builds recently because of RSS issues I was dealing with in #16879. All these columns have a minimum size that is way too large to show anything reasonably well in the client.

The issue is even worse than OP makes it out to be because you can't even resize the columns anymore! You literally cannot even see the filenames unless you remove a whole bunch of columns but even then the UI is still messed up.

any progress on this? it's really annoying that I can't resize the columns at all.

Seems like this is working correctly again for me. Can everyone re-check, please?

@mohad12211 Strange. Do you use qt5ct/qt6ct by any chance?

[mohad12211]

non of them are installed on my system. @txtsd

Actually, some of the column labels are missing for me from the Trackers and Content tabs.

And the last column in the Content tab freaks out by resizing to maximum width whenever resizing any column in that tab.

I just installed 4.4.5.10 (QT6, Win11) and reizing of columns feature is locked.

I tried to solve the issue by deleting the entries in profile\qBittorrent\config\qBittorrent.ini file one by one. And found:

• Qt6\TransferList\HeaderState=".................."

If you are have same issue, you can try to delete the quotation marks (initial and finally) of this entry in qBittorrent.ini file.

@PureOcean Thank you so much!!!!

This worked for me! If you're using Linux, instead of qBittorrent.ini you should look for $HOME/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf.

What to do with this format?

@gwarser Close qBittorrent, delete the line, open qBittorrent.

Thanks, this worked. Some are still bit to wide (ratio, availability for ex.), but good enough.
