​It works fine on Plasma  or Gnome/X11 so Wayland is suspect,
but a counterargument is that e.g. octave-gui built on the same computer
against the same Qt-5.7.0 runs fine -- e.g. the file selection windows on
its qscintilla component works just fine. ​

​I filed bugzilla report on fedora -- may be something comes out of it.
