Qt Button changes drastically when setting its `border-radius`.
In a Qt application I have nothing more than a window
with a button as its direct child.
I set its background color and all is fine:
```
Window::Window(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent)
{
button1 = new QPushButton(this);
button1->setText("1234");
button1->setStyleSheet("*{background:plum;}");
}
```
But if I also set its border-radius,
```
Window::Window(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent)
{
button1 = new QPushButton(this);
button1->setText("1234");
button1->setStyleSheet("*{background:plum;border-radius:0;}");
}
```
the button becomes different in other aspects, namely the background
is not a gradient anymore, the border is gone and it is much smaller.
All I expected was for its shape to become rectangular.
What am I missing?
I consulted the [Qt stylesheet reference][1], but that only added
to my confusion, since it states that if not specified `border-radius`
is (already) zero.
