Great! I added an Ubuntu bug report for the qtwebengine-opensource-src 5.12.8+dfsg-0ubuntu1 source package -- indicating the upstream acknowledgement (affecting 5.12.8/9) and official patch. I asked that they consider cherry-picking the patch so apps that depend the live editing features of QtWebEngine aren't broken for the latest Ubuntu LTS release.
There were several patches they were applying to 5.12.5 that got lifted for 5.12.8, so they're clearly not above patching. Hopefully my report doesn't get the "It's Upstream's Problem" blowoff. Well see.
Debian still seems committed to Qt5.12.5 for its testing and unstable branches. Not sure why they're still hanging their hats on such a bad (bad by Qt's own admission ) version for a future stable release, but I figure there's not much point in adding this to the mix if they are.
