Row height and window size changes while choosing themes in lxqt-config

[chimak111]

Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above

I'm trying out Lubuntu 18.10 (LXQt).

Expected Behavior

When I select widget styles listed in LXQt Appearance Configuration, I expect the window dimensions to remain unchanged and the row height to remain unchanged.

Current Behavior

Instead, when I click on on bb10dark or on bb10bright, the row height for all widget styles increase as does the window size. This should not happen.

Note that the adjacent simplescreenrecorder window, while reflecting the chosen widget size, is otherwise normal and doesn't resize.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

And again: lxqt-config-appearance work as expected - one can test it on a blackberry (that what the extra qt style is for). Two choices: ignore it or purge qt5 -style-plugins.

The expectation ("This should not happen") is totally wrong. As a matter of fact, if it didn't happen, lxqt-config-appearance would have a bug.

Yeah, to prevent these bugs I'm going to remove that package from the metapackages...

Thanks for the quick response time @agaida and @tsujan.

@tsimonq2 I think users should be free to use bb10 and see what it is. As @agaida correctly said (elsewhere), it's for Blackberry but, today, I learned something valuable from bb10 (after it caused a freeze -- it is buggy): "kinetic scrolling" can be enabled in the widget style and I'll add an option for it to a future version of Kvantum.

[tsimonq2]

@tsujan I don't disagree that users should have the ability to use it, but I won't ship a broken theme by default in my distribution.

Unix was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
