      You should check it with a recent Qt version first before creating a bug report

          In your images above you use Qt5

            The installed one in linux mint (Keepassx installed this version) is 5.15. For my project I'm using 6.9 in custom installation

              Ok, then all is fine, create a bug report. Looks like a problem with the gtk platform plugin.
              Maybe it's also related to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-86195

                  Weird, I searched first for placeholdertext keyword and didn't find anything. Anyway, that one is for Windows 10 reported in 2023
