The end of a string is truncated when changed in Qml via Javascript

Any time I would try changing any string in QML via Javascript the end of that string is truncated. Here is an example of a basic program I've written in QML:

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 2.4

ApplicationWindow {

    //setup
    id: window
    width: 400
    height: 250
    visible: true

    Button{
        id:toggle
        property bool buttonOn: false

        anchors.fill: parent

        Component.onCompleted: {
            toggle.text = "Activate"
        }

        onClicked: {
            buttonOn =! buttonOn;
            if(buttonOn){
                toggle.text = "Deactivate"
            }else{
                toggle.text = "Activate"
            }
        }
    }

}

However, when running, the code looks like this: 1

And when I click the Button it looks like this: 2

This doesn't seem to happen when it's set using pure QML like:

text: "Activate"

It also depends on how simmilar the words are, for instance id I were to use "button off" and "button on", this wouldn't happen.

I have no idea what could possible cause this and any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Edit:

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Qt but it doesn't do anything, and a simmilar problem exists with menuBars, where nothing is displayed in the right place.

It seems this problem is not reproducible (or at least with the info you've provided). Maybe you could force the problematic component not to truncate the text by using the elide property on the content item. However, this would only be a workaround and not a real solution to your problem.

Look here for the elide property, and here for the customization of the Button item.

Try QtQuick.Controls 2.2 I did test with that version and works fine for me. Also I'm working on Debian I don't know if that may be a problem.

As you can see I add a longer text and there is the result.

Example in Linux

Edit 2 On a virtual windows 7 works fine. You should try to use another OS or something like that Example on Windows 7
