Phil is right - you should firstly report this to the maintainer of the 
qscintilla-qt5 package on the AUR. This is much more likely to be an 
Arch-specific issue, so you should make sure that you rule that 
possibility out first before thinking about raising it here. One obvious 
thing to do would be to have a look on the Arch Bug Tracker to see if 
there are any similar issues affecting the official qscintilla packages, 
such as this one:

     https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39672

Of course, this relates to qt4 rather than qt5, but it may give you some 
hints about how to resolve your own issue.

Can you please also avoid top-posting on this list? Thanks
