I wasn't sure if it was, didn't look like it to me, but included a link
just in case you recognized it and it was the same. 

Glad to help and I'm sure they are glad to have a ready made fix for it
too.  It may be that some others can even use the patch in the meantime,
if they compile their own packages.

I think it IS the same problem. Posted my patch to that bug, thanks for
the help. My head was already swimming a bit after finding the problem.
Turns out I already had a log-in for that page so the rest was easy :-) .

It doesn't seem to be Gentoo's bug so I would start here:

https://bugs.kde.org/

If it is something Gentoo, file it on Gentoo's bug system. 

As to already reported, this is the only bug I found.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367080 

I don't think that is the same problem.  The other results were years
old.  You may have found a bug and a solution as well, which they would
likely like to hear about.  ;-)

Hope that helps.
