[Solution found, add to documentation?] Missing window top bar in GNOME Wayland
EDIT: I just found a solution: instead of QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland I need to set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl. Perhaps a disclaimer in a FAQ or something could help someone else with the same issue.
Description
On Parabola GNU/Linux-libre with GNOME on Wayland session, the top bar of the application is missing. Running the application with XWayland the top bar is shown as expected. I am filing this as a feature request because even though this could be an issue on my end that could be fixed with some tinkering, other Qt 6 applications work out of the box.
Alternatives
On Ubuntu 24.04 it works out of the box, but on my environment this may need some tinkering to make it work.
Additional context
I carried out several tests with packages from every distribution up to date as of this writing with angr Management v9.2.117 for Ubuntu 22.04.
