My installation of bitmask/riseup VPN [1] suddenly stopped processing the `indeterminate: true` as written here [2] suddenly stopped rendering when I updated from QT 6.8 to 6.9.2 (in Debian). I see a blank progressbar with no progress/processing being shown. It's a blank bar.

It however starts working if I add in a dummy animation with 0 height and width. So it maybe the case that QT is aggressively trying to stop rendering unless another animation also runs.

Since the QML syntax is more or less backwards-compatible, it looks unlikely for any API removals to have caused this.

Additionally the next MOTD screen here [4] also looks broken until I forcefully add a `height: 200` to the "Item" element. That means it's getting set to 0 by default but that should not happen.

Note that the version of bitmask-vpn is same across QT updates from 6.8 -> 6.9.2 so this is not a fallout of updating another package.
