Closed issue by Vogtinator on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/43811

Description:
To fix https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-112526, we also applied your qtbase patch `big-endian-scroll.patch` to openSUSE.
However, we got a bug report that this broke popup menus: When e.g. opening a context menu, the application completely stops reacting to mouse events (internally reported as https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211024).

This is because it's missing endianess conversion in `QXcbConnection::xi2SetMouseGrabEnabled`.

You might want to add the missing part manually:

```
