Digikam 5.7.0 running under custom-build Qt 5.9.3

Since I upgraded to Qt 5.9.3 I no longer get any content in the main area, except for the Map. My collections are all there, it's as if some component doesn't load without providing an error.

At first I expected that this could be an incompatibility with the rebooted QtWebKit 5.212 (github.com/annulen/webkit) but nothing improved after installing the "community" QtWebKit 5.9.1 and rebuilding digikam5 .

I'm seeing this on Mac and Linux; the linux AppImage build works fine in this aspect. On Mac I can return to a working version by forcing the MacPorts build to use Qt 5.8.0 (either by reactivating the 5.8 Qt5 port or by using DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to load Qt's own 5.8 build).

Apologies - I did search for bugs with Qt 5.9.3 in the title but didn't find 387373 ...

The patch solved the issue for me too, including with QtWebKit 5.212 .
