The screenshots tarball contains other permutations of the same scenario: Running from the root shell with different widget themes, running as a regular user with different widget themes, running as a regular user, but with "kdesu" with different widget themes. There must be some Qt5 or KDE lib or plug-in that makes it behave differently. I also checked on my workstation with yesterday's Tumbleweed, and it works fine there (all buttons using Alt-H, no shortcuts reassigned), but I am using Xfce there, not KDE. But the Qt libs are also the most recent Qt 5.9 versions.
