    EDIT: This still shows up on > Qt 5.9.8 when running with -debug=qt. Tested that this PR fixes the issue on macOS 11.2.3

    But I cannot replicate the issue described in #258 when compiling master with Qt 5.15.2 or building master with depends which uses Qt 5.12.10

    I can replicate the issue when building the 0.21 tag with depends (Qt 5.9.8). I think the issue linked is not a problem anymore going forward
