Thank you, Kevin.

That was an annoying bug so *big* thanks -- it works just fine.

I have built qt5-qtbase with these backported patches in a Copr:

This is actually a limitation (you can call it feature regression if you 
want) in Qt 5 that has been there since Qt 5.0.0. The reason you have not 
seen it before Fedora 27 is because Okular was still using Qt 4 until Fedora 
25 (included). (I guess you skipped Fedora 26, because that already had a Qt 
5 version of Okular.)

Thankfully, as Rex Dieter points out, this is finally being addressed in Qt 
5.11 (see https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.11 and 
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54464). Unfortunately, that release is 
still a few months away from now. (Qt upstream currently expects to release 
Qt 5.11.0 on May 31.) I would actually argue that we should backport this to 
our packages sooner, backports from OpenSUSE are linked in QTBUG-54464. But 
I am not a maintainer of qt5-qtbase, so it is not my decision to make.

It's a Qt problem, that's been fixed recently (in Qt 5.11 development 
branch).
