[FIXED] label changes position after moving window pyqt5

Issue

I have this window where the mainlayout is a QVBoxlayout with nested QHBoxlayout

On top a have set two labels, for some reasons
pressen_label = qtw.QLabel("Choose A") label is changing its position after the window is moved or resized with the mouse.

before moving/change size of the window with mouse

after moving the window

How can I lock the position of the label so its not moving?

pressen_label = qtw.QLabel("Choose  A")
quality_label = qtw.QLabel("Choose  B")
hblayout_labelcombo = qtw.QHBoxLayout()
hblayout_labelcombo.addWidget(pressen_label)
hblayout_labelcombo.addStretch(1)
hblayout_labelcombo.addWidget(quality_label)
hblayout_labelcombo.addStretch(10)
hblayout_labelcombo.setAlignment(qtc.Qt.AlignTop)

Solution

Describing your mistakes can be complicated (and even a waste of time) for example quality_label is added to 3 layouts: hblayout_labelcombo.addWidget(quality_label), hblayout_labelmsslayout.addWidget(quality_label) and hblayout_mssbuttonlayout.addWidget(quality_label) which is illogical.

So my answer focuses on implementing the solution, in this case it is enough to use a QGridLayout and establish the appropriate stretching factors.

import sys

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets as qtw


class Widget(qtw.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)

        self.choose_a_label = qtw.QLabel(self.tr("Choose A"))
        self.choose_b_label = qtw.QLabel(self.tr("Choose B"))

        self.choose_a_combo = qtw.QComboBox()
        self.choose_a_combo.setFixedWidth(130)
        self.choose_b_combo = qtw.QComboBox()
        self.choose_b_combo.setFixedWidth(130)

        self.label_question = qtw.QLabel(self.tr("want to start msss ?"))
        self.button = qtw.QPushButton(self.tr("mss start"))

        lay = qtw.QGridLayout(self)
        lay.addWidget(self.choose_a_label, 0, 0)
        lay.addWidget(self.choose_b_label, 0, 1)
        lay.addWidget(self.choose_a_combo, 1, 0)
        lay.addWidget(self.choose_b_combo, 1, 1)
        lay.addWidget(self.label_question, 2, 0)
        lay.addWidget(self.button, 3, 0)

        lay.setColumnStretch(3, 1)
        lay.setRowStretch(4, 1)

        self.resize(640, 480)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = qtw.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = Widget()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
