Master hasn't exploded on 5.6 in a while. I simply gave up on anyone from
Qt to fix their bugs so I worked around them instead.

Given that I want to make an Android release in just a few days no is not
a great time to do this. But I'll definitely look into this after the release.
Right now I'm battling the slowly disappearing anesthesia in my cheek
(after my root canal this morning) and the profile scaling in the presence
of displays with higher device pixel ratio. At this stage I'd prefer another
root canal to ever having to touch that code again.
