That happens.

It was, and apologize accepted. Try to remember we maintainers are not 
employees, but people trying to help. Be polite with us.

qtbase 5.9.1-12 is only available in unstable. Unstable is the place when 
things like this *can* happen. So if you think this is really an inconvenience 
please use testing, not unstable.

By the way the patch solved the issue for the users of at least two other 
distros, so it's reall ynot half-baked. Yes, there is the chance that it might 
not work everywhere, as you discovered.

But now that we are on this please check this bug log and see if the 
workaround works for you with this patch. I would test it, but I'm far from 
having a HiDPI monitor.

Thanks, Lisandro.
