Re: Resize flicking on QMainWindow centralWidget in python but not C++

We had this behavior in our own app, but it kind of went away on its own.  We came to suspect that it had to with the setting of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.  I don’t know if you set that variable in your compile, but if you do you might try changing it (or not setting it) and see what happens.

Difficult to pinpoint as a reproducible report.
