This is unfortunately an issue in the Qt SVG renderer: https://qt-project.atlassian.net//browse/QTBUG-118854

The place where it looks good is the icon selector dialog where I believe we use a custom KDE-specific renderer. Unfortunately for technical reasons, this can't be easily generalized to be used everywhere.

Rather, the Qt issue needs to be fixed, and then we can *drop* the custom SVG renderer in the icon dialog.
