Yes, we do understand that your workaround solves the issue, but we do also understand that we should not be using this workaround in the first place. Guillem: the thread is long, but be sure that we Qt/KDE maintainers consider that this change will be insta-RC I'm afraid. Xi: you have found a *wonderful* way to find where bugs are, please try to fix the relevant code and not paper over it, because in the Qt case it is not a bug on our side. -- “I don’t think security can solve problems.
