SUMMARY
The Entry View broke.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Tellico.
2. You can select different collection entries to see that this doesn't fix the isssue.

OBSERVED RESULT
The Entry View doesn't show what it used to show. Instead, it is either totally transparent (the window behind or the desktop can be seen) or it shows the hall-of-mirrors-effect (like in older games) or something alike. Rarely it becomes totally white. 

Screenshots taken with Spectacle seem to always show transparency there.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Entry View should display the properties of the selected item, just like it used to.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Tellico Version: 4.1.1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0

Using Wayland or X11? I'm trying to think of other relevant questions, too, since I can't reproduce this, running on Tumbleweed myself. What was your previous working version? Did this start happening after any recent updates other than Tellico?

Today I noticed the same happens to the similar field in uchmviewer (https://github.com/eBookProjects/uChmViewer), a non-KDE program that also uses Qt. So it seems that the bug is not in Tellico itself. Sorry for bothering you, a wrong person.

It's difficult for me to relate this issue with any precise change in my system.

Anyway, it's not Tellico's fault. 

(I'm thinking where to go with this now.)

Same bug in Qt Creator

QWebEngineView seems to be the source of the issue. It's buggy even in Qt Creator design menu.

I reinstalled related packages (`zypper in --force libQt6WebEngineCore6  libQt6WebEngineQuick6 libQt6WebEngineWidgets6 qt6-webengine`), but it didn't fix the problem.

Anyway, not Tellico's fault.

Thank you (once again) for developing and maintaining this awesome application!

Oops, I uploaded a wrong file.

Just for reference and possibly other people having this issue: the bug has been reported to Qt a few days ago. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-135786
