ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have previously suggested this bug here
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374892
and it was suggested i should file this as a bug against Qt, which would affect
all Qt applications
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58087#
but as you can see the Qt developers are too lazy to work on this.
Thus i am opening it as a new bug against KDE, with the scope being KDE
applications and the KDE desktop.
