This is worrying! I did a quick search and I can't see anything about deprecation of QT5 / KeePassXC on Arch Linux.
Is that planned for later this year?
> KeePassXC is about to get last-rited, respectively masked for removal, on Gentoo due to this iusse. Ubuntu and ArchLinux will follow soon. Please keep this great piece of software alive. Thank you very much! See https://bugs.gentoo.org/949231

Some people just want to make other people's lives a little more weird.
Case in point:
1. Go to: https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1os4x90/every_pair_of_jeans_i_buy_no_matter_the_brand/ in your browser.
2. Notice something weird on the right hand side of your monitor.
3. Scroll up and down to verify that it is indeed an issue with your monitor.
4. Try to resolve said issue on your monitor.
5. Why is this not working?
6. Switch to another page, e.g. https://old.reddit.com/
7. Swear at the Reddit mods of /r/mildlyinfuriating.
