Qscintilla widget with misplaced caret
SUMMARY
In certain types of Qscintilla text boxes (I haven't been able to establish
which yet), the caret is in the wrong place relative to the text (see attached
screenshot).
The location is exactly where it should be if the text had no kerning - ie the
caret assumes no kerning, but the text is kerned.
I've tried different fonts, turning kerning on/off in Qt designer, changing the
system font, all to no effect.
Others have reported that the issue does not occur in other DEs on the same
platforms (Manjaro Gnome and Manjaro Xcfe have been tried), so it's something
to do with the way KDE renders these particular boxes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a QgsExpressionBuilderWidget - The easiest way to do this is through
Qgis (mapping software) which uses the widget. a) Open Qgis b) Add a scratch
layer c) go to properties>manage fields>field calculator
2. Type in a string of letters ('w' works well)
OBSERVED RESULT
The caret is someway away from the actual letters
EXPECTED RESULT
The caret should follow the letters
