the patch you mean is https://phabricator.kde.org/D2986 ? I think it makes sense to backpport.. also, to me backporting to 5.8 is kindof special, becuase of its lts status. maybe something i would not consider fto backport for a normal release, in 5.8 makes more sense because I think every fix that makes it easier to maintain in the long term, makes sense -- Marco Martin
