    Description

      QNetworkAccessManager constantly polls for wireless networks. This behaviour can be seen from macOS Console as airportd activity (com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.wifi.internal.scanning).

      The bug can be reproduced when using the latest release of KeepassXC (https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc). Even if one HTTP GET operation is being made with QNetworkAccessManager and its deleted after the response wifi polls continue to happen in the background. This affects to all network traffic.
