I think there are some cmake flags that need to be passed. I remember seeing something recently by @wmayer but need to search the forum for it

Did you manage to find anything about it?

Not yet, the forum search is horrendous. I need to use google to actually find something on this beast.

Probably the complete lack of some widgets are related to Qt.

Qt in Arch Linux is divided in packaged in a different manner from say Debian or derivative.

I've had some problem in the past when trying to compile myself something that used Qt on Arch Linux, some files that in other distribution where in a specific packages in Arch Linux were put elsewhere.

Maybe some warning in the compiler or pre-processor output will gave some light, but as usually they are many, it could be not so easy to find out.

The screenshot doesn't show it well but they aren't missing. They are there but it's like only parts visible and they start to flickr as you start hovering over them.

Ouch! That sounds painful. I haven't messed with phpBB in awhile but perhaps there is an addon that would provide better search results? Although, if I recall correctly, there are other problems with phpBB's "search results" besides just the search. Like the fact that browsing a user's posts also show replies to his posts but shows them as his.

@wmayer sorry to interrupt but is it possible for you to look at the Compile_on_Linux page and see if it's current (in regards to CMake flags especially)?

Maybe there is some chances that searching for "qt widget flicker mouse over" will give you some advice.

Only a suggestion.

Do you have a high dpi display? Could be related to that. Could also be the theme from your DE, try setting a different theme with qt5ct or using KDE
