kmail black screen

SUMMARY
I recently switched to wayland in Fedora 34. Both Kmail and Akgregator doesn't work properly under Wayland. They both load as black screens. Actually both of them load intially after a long waiting time but doesn't work if we switch between them.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kontact suite in wayland session.
2. Open Kmail or Akgregator within it (HTML content)
3. It will display black screen. (Also the mail list will be unusable until it loads.

OBSERVED RESULT
Black screen. Refer attachments.

EXPECTED RESULT
Load normally, similar to X11

I'm also getting this, on Gentoo, with:

qtwayland 5.15.2
kernel 5.13.7
amdgpu
Comment 5 Damian C 2022-06-24 06:41:18 UTC
Same, but with white screen instead of black. Presumably due to theming.

I must clarify, that unlike the bug reporter, I do not get the same blank screen with the Feeds (Akregator), and the messages do load if I double click to open them in a new window. But I did not see them loading even after a while.
The button in the middle of the panes, to switch from HTML to Plain Text, is also unresponsive using wayland, it simply does nothing.

I get the blank white screen for html mail as well. But if I open the mail in a new window everything works as expected.

QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu-compositing" works me as a workaround, so the issue seems to be HW accel related

This works for me as well! Also works for the news feed.
