The suggestion of using size policy might well fix it, but size policy doesn't always work as you'd expect. An alternative way would be to add a blank expanded row to bottom of the grid layout: packCfgOptionsGroupLayout->setRowStretch(5, 1); It might possibly be necessary to put something in the row to make this work (I can't remember) - in that case, do packCfgOptionsGroupLayout->addWidget(new QWidget(packCfgOptionsGroup), 5, 0, 1, 1); That has the disadvantage that if the group box shrinks, the row containing the invisible widget will still occupy some space. You may be able to add an extra layout to the QGridLayout instead of a widget, which would avoid that issue. -- David Jarvie. KDE developer.
