Bah, of course I did. Attaching it here.

I see. Anyone else know what could cause the behavior shown in the
screenshot?

Alright, so you've heard about it before? Should there ever be a need for
QGLWidget, or should it be reported as a bug?

My system:

Thinkpad T440s
Intel HD Graphics 4400
Qt 5.5.1 / PyQt5 5.4.2 / VTK 6.2.0

All installed from Kubuntu repos (with backports repositories enabled).

I have no reason not to use QGLWidget instead of QWidget, so it's not a big
problem. I was mostly curious if others have seen this problem.
