--- Comment #2 from Ulrich Heinen <[email protected]> ---
Hi,

a) is fine for me, but I do not really need to be referenced. It is 
still your code, I just looked a few lines up and down ;-)

b) I've used version 5.115.0 as shipped by OpenSuse 15.6 (which is out 
of maintenance by now anyway). After I stumbled across the problem, I 
checked the repo head for possible changes and found that changed line, 
but I did not check whether my local version was a pristine repo 
version. Maybe the Suse packagers tried a fix themselves? - unlikely if 
you ask me...

 From my point of view, it is not necessary to push the fix to old 
distributions. I am mainly using 15.6 on two of three machines, as my 
own code base is still showing issues after the port to Qt6/KF6 but I 
using it in a production environment in my lab. I will use a locally 
patched version for building.


Thanks for your work and best regards,


Ulrich Heinen
