This is QTBUG-31869
<https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31869> (which
is substituted by
QTBUG-33014<https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33014>
 and QTBUG-33013 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33013>).

Notice it only happens if you have any RTL layout installed on your system.
