As the original reporter does not respond, I tried to verify this myself (with Kubuntu 18.10 in VirtualBox).

Quite strangely, the attached test.qml file works fine even without the packages from -proposed. I was running it as “qml -qt5 test.qml” and it shows the StackExchange website properly.

Then I tried to reproduce this with qutebrowser. By default qutebrowser disallows using Qt WebEngine backend with Wayland and shows a warning page when one tries to do that. However, it is possible to disable that by exporting QUTE_SKIP_WAYLAND_CHECK=1 environment variable:

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/v1.5.1/qutebrowser/misc/backendproblem.py#L223

When I run qutebrowser (with that variable set) with Qt WebEngine from cosmic-release, it behaves as described in this bug report (prints tons of warnings and does not load anything). After updating libqt5webengine* packages to cosmic-proposed versions, that is fixed.

I think that is enough to mark this bug as verified.
