Hi!
I've noticed that when starting SuperCollider IDE (with the scide
command) the Help Browser (which is the panel on top on the right side
with vanilla/no configuration) doesn't show any text. IIRC
SuperCollider's documentation is HTML documents (you can also browse it
online [1]) displayed through some QtWeb-widget (I am no expert in Qt).
My first question: is this reproducible? Or do others also see no text
in the Help Browser?
I have tried adding qtwebengine as an input and passing a configure
flag, but this didn't change the issue:

I'm more than happy to hunt that bug down but am grateful for any
pointers to where the issue could possibly originate.
