revert r938d1c08d0d1 in favour of putting it in the chat log. I think this addresses main concern about missing text. There've been complaints in past too about conversation in bubbles not being visible in history. If the objection is that r938d1c08d0d1 offers a more æsthetic solution, I think it should augment this, be flagged, and fix the visual issues first.

#include <QLabel>
#include <QRect>
#include <QList>
#include <QMouseEvent>

class PixLabel : public QLabel
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:

    PixLabel();
    QList<QRect> rects;

public slots:
    void AddRect();

private:
    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent * event);
    void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent * e);
};
