Public bug reported:

There is a severe bug in Qt affecting KDE's lockscreen, that causes a
heavy busy loop: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484323

Just recently, the root cause was found in Qt: 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/663811
This will apparently not be backported to the (public) 6.8 branch, thus would 
be addressed earliest with 6.9.

The issue caused by this bug can be fairly severe, if not treated
through manual intervention, e.g.: when this bug is affecting me and my
workaround script is disabled, my laptop manages to drain its fully
charged battery while being plugged-in & charging.

Quickly deploying this hotfix, ideally for 25.10, would (presumably)
help a lot of people - given the (heated) activity in the KDE bug
report.

** Affects: qt6-base (Ubuntu)
