Public bug reported:

A regression was introduced in Qt5 5.5 - fixed in 5.7 - whereas
conversion from QVariant to QString is broken for double and float
values (you can see more details on this here:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-47192).

The patch fixing this issue is the following:
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/patch/src/corelib/tools/qlocale.h?id=726fed0d67013cbfac7921d3d4613ca83406fb0f

Would it be possible to apply this patch against the package (based on
Qt5 5.6.1) Ubuntu 16.10 will October? It's a pretty ugly bug, which
needs addressing. Hopefully the Qt devs can eventually merge this patch
onto their 5.6 LTS branch.
