The KDE Qt5 Patch Collection has been rebased on top of Qt 5.15.8

Commit: https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qt5/-/commit/281044e2541c842f8d0b0bc1a199999bf9d9951c


Commercial release announcement: https://www.qt.io/blog/commercial-lts-qt-5.15.8-released


OpenSource release announcement: https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/announce/2023-January/000388.html

 

As usual I want to personally extend my gratitude to the Commercial users of Qt for beta testing Qt 5.15.8 for the rest of us.

 

The Commercial Qt 5.15.8 release introduced two bugs that have later been fixed. Thanks to that, our Patchset Collection has been able to incorporate the the fix for one of the issues [1] and revert for the other [2]  and the Free Software users will never be affected by it! 

 

P.S: Special shout-out to Andreas Sturmlechner for identifying the fix of the issue, since I usually only pay attention to "Revert XYZ" commits and this one is not a revert but subsequent improvement
