Kmail does not display messages with latest kde

Because of a problem trying to install Autokey on Leap 15 (see https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/531542-Autokey-and-python-sip-api-mismatch) I tried updating KDE to the latest version (from https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories). After this kmail no longer displays messages, just a white blank in both the preview pane and when the message is opened. The text of the message displays in a reply composer window and in the message source.

Starting kmail or kontact in terminal I get this whenever I select a message:

****
**1 : "Uncaught ReferenceError: qt is not defined"**
**1 : "Uncaught ReferenceError: qt is not defined"**

Plasma: 5.12.90
Frameworks: 5.46.0
Qt: 5.11.0
Kmail: 5.7.3

Anyone else seen this problem? Any advice for fixing? It seems there is a bug report for this already: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394885 and here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57700. It seems the problem is with qt.

It seems the problem is with qt.

Nope :embarrassed:. Fixed this by installing kde applications from the applications repo; should have known to do this first. Did a ‘switch to versions in this repo’ and now kmail works as expected.
