So on Windows and Mac builds with Qt 5.4.2, the meta editor is fine. But on Linux with Qt 5.5.1 or Qt 5.6.0, it appears the "ghost of characters past" can be seen. I wonder if this is a Linux issue or a Qt > 5.4.2 issue. Perhaps DiapDealer can check things on his Linux build done with Qt 5.4.2 and let us know. If the issue is newer Qt version we can file a Qt bug report but no bug I have ever filed at Qt has ever been fixed. Even those with simple standalone test cases. So I don't have high hopes.

Does selection of font used have any impact on the issue? It almost appears either a border is too big or the font size metrics is being ignored when laying out the dialog fields.
