Hi
In bug #869359 (Rather use qt4 due to qt5 bugs) I was asked to build
texstudio against qt4 instead of qt5 because of a severe bug in qt5. In
short qt5 does not allow to input polytonic greek letters like ἀ ἁ ἄ ἅ ἂ
ἃ ἆ ἐ ἑ etc.
Due to the problems with qt5, upstream is still shipping two versions of
their own debian packages, one with qt4 and one with qt5 support.
In my opinion it makes sense to go back to qt4 for stretch.
I've made the necessary changes and built texstudio for stretch against
qt4. Please find attached the debdiff.
Thanks and regards
Tom

That sounds like it's trading a set of bugs for another. This is an
extremely invasive change, with basically no way to assess involved
risks. Sorry, but I think that ship has sailed for stretch.
