Why does PySide6.QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout not expand despite setting QSizePolicy.Expanding? Additionally, on the first click, even though the items have been added to the Legend, then items aren't visible until the mouse is clicked again. But when the 2nd click occurs, the 1st box appears but is squished with the 2nd like the image below.

But after subsequent clicks, there is less squish

Why does this occur? I have tried to set the Legend with resize(200,200), but increasing the size doesn't change anything.
