SUMMARY After updating qt5-webengine to 5.15.3-2, some pages do not finish loading in Falkon. Some sites will initially load normally(eg. Youtube), but after navigating to another part of the site (eg. from homepage to subscriptions), never stop loading (despite having seemingly finished) and cannot be stopped/reloaded. Other sites (eg. Twitter) never stop loading at all. Others still (eg. Google) load and navigate normally. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Update qt-webengine to 5.15.3-2 2. Restart computer 3. Open Falkon browser 4. Navigate to a website (more complex sites tend to trigger the behavior) 5. If the website initially loads, navigate to another page OBSERVED RESULT The tab icon and Stop button indicate that loading is still occurring after all content is displayed. Clicking the Stop button produces no result. EXPECTED RESULT Page loads to completion, tab icon ceases loading animation, reload button reverts from Stop to Reload SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (5.11.2-arch1-1) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.2-1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0-1 Qt Version: 5.15.2-5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION --Downgrading to qt5-webengine 5.15.2-5 returns behavior to normal --Otter browser works as expected on either version. --This FreeBSD bug report from 2018 documents a similar problem: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232475
It looks like there are more problems with QtWE 5.15.3 See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69902 Since you did not provide logs I can only assume the cause is the same and look forward for resolution on Qt side.

Thanks for responding, Jaraj. You're probably right. Still, I'd be happy to provide any pertinent logs. Just let me know what would be most helpful and whether it's best to add them as attachments. Sorry, baby's first bug report.
Juraj* Sorry for misspelling your name.

I highly doubt that this has anything to do with https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69902. Qtwebengine 5.15.3 is a big update (with a big jump in chromium version) and it's normal that is causes many issues, and not all of them need to be the same one.
Created attachment 136544 [details] Falkon Terminal Output Here's the requested output.
The issue is caused by this change https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/commit/?id=b719da05c6429d72f4e0e0af44da0bf3f3e57984
OK, I will try to look into it and newer QtWE when I finish the little things I am working on. Thank you for investigating this.
Reported to Qt at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-91773 This is upstream bug, in essence we do not receive loadfinished or progress (at 100%) signals and thus shows animation all over. The change mentioned by Antonio Rojas should be the cause.

Awesome. Thank y'all so much. Really cool to experience an issue and be shown the exact cause. I'll be sure to review the upstream report.
