Package: libqt5quick5-gles
Version: 5.15.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

When I had a system running with libqt5quick5-gles the display was horribly 
messed up with missing
icons and KDE window controls.  I could work around it by setting
MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=”-GL_EXT_bgra -GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888″ in the 
environment for the
user (which didn't affect SDDM which still had mangled display).

When I ran "apt remove libqt5quick5-gles" (which installed libqt5quick5) and 
rebooted (I could have
just restarted sddm but wanted to get the new kernel) it worked without setting 
any environment
variables.

Using the MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE variable broke Warzone2100 (for reasons I 
have not figured out),
but using libqt5quick5 KDE and Warzone2100 both work perfectly.

I wrote a blog post about this which has some more details.

The above blog post has the most technical detail about this including some 
test Qt code.

In what situations does libqt5quick5-gles work better than libqt5quick5?
