Qt Designer Scrollbars not showing up
I'm using Qt Designer to create a GUI for my application (QGIS extension). In the application, certain areas are scrollable as intended. However, in Qt Designer, scrollbars are not visible, making it impossible to rearrange or access items that are out of view.
How can I scroll within these areas in Qt Designer to see and modify the hidden items?
This screenshot shows the problem with a red arrow that represents the missing scrollbar. An example ui file code can be found below.
