I will test this later, but an idea:
It works on stable system and is broken on ~?

[Comment 4 Andrew Nowa Ammerlaan 2020-10-08 06:59:21 UTC]

It works with the stable Qt version (5.14.2), this issue occurs in Qt 5.15.1 and should be fixed in 5.15.2. 

In any case there's nothing I can do, the problem is in dev-python/PyQt5

[Comment 5 Joonas Niilola 2020-10-08 07:42:25 UTC]

Would it make sense to limit the version requirement for PyQt5? 
<dev-python/QtPy-5.15[gui,testlib,${PYTHON_USEDEP}]

Since it's obviously broken with 5.15. When 5.15.2 is out, lift the restriction to allow that as well?

[Comment 6 Andrew Nowa Ammerlaan 2020-10-08 07:46:27 UTC]

Well the thing is that it is not pytest-qt which is broken, it is a bug in PyQt5.

I would expect this same problem to occur in other packages which use this specific feature of PyQt5-5.15.1.

Besides, I've not had any problems at runtime with pytest-qt

[Comment 7 Joonas Niilola 2020-10-08 07:53:29 UTC]

Can we minimize the effect by restricting the version under "test?" USE flag then? I see there are multiple tests failing so wouldn't be smart to disable/remove failing tests either.

Please add an upstream bug link here so we can track the status. Under See also.

I suppose we could do that.
