    Description

      QPainter::end() leaks memory, if the warning the "QPainter::end: Painter ended with %d saved states" occurs. That is, memory is leaked, if for example save() is called without calling restore() before end of painting.

      The attached example code qpainter_mem_leak.cpp reproduces the problem which was also verified with valgrind:

      valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes qpainter_mem_leak:
