net-im/zoom does not work with bundled-qt USE flag deselected and qtcore-5.15.* installed. It will create a tray icon but is unable to open any other windows, leaving the software unusable. I've had this issue with the entire net-im/zoom-5.6.* series as well as net-im/zoom-5.7.25958.0621 with qtcore-5.15.* Enabling the 'bundled-qt' use flag allows it to open other windows and otherwise function normally. Since zoom client is proprietary, I guess we should remove the use flag until they fix it.
Fwiw, net-im/zoom-5.7.25958.0621 bundles dev-qt/qt*-5.12.10 which has long been dropped from Gentoo's repo, so making '-bundled-qt' simply depend on a specific version of Qt isn't going to help.
See bug 755047. This is the reason why the bundled-qt flag is enabled by default. In principle linking against a newer version of Qt 5 should work though. If it doesn't, it most likely indicates a problem in the upstream package (like using an internal API of Qt). So, can you report this upstream please? Their bug tracker is here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new
Yeah I've already reported it upstream, they seem unfamiliar with the concept that their bundled Qt could be optional. Not much point linking the thread here since it's not public, but I did link this bug there.
(In reply to Michael Moon from comment #3) Thank you.
@Michael i suggest to you to post your upstream issue on URL: in order to make easier for other check it
