    An update that has two recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:


    This update for libqt5-qtwebengine disables the use of the GPU when the
    Nouveau OpenGL driver is detected. This is necessary because Nouveau
    doesn't support rendering from different threads. Also, two new
    environment variables can be used to control this behavior:

    - QT_WEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU can be used to force the disabling of the GPU;
    and
    - QT_WEBENGINE_DISABLE_NOUVEAU_WORKAROUND can be used to disable the
    detection
    of Nouveau, making it easier for users to try with newer Nouveau
    releases.
