Problem description

I'm running FreeCAD under KDE6 with Wayland.
When I try to create a new project or open an existing one, the 3D view is just blank

I see the following output in the terminal when the blank screen is shown
Tried enabling the software renderer, it didn't help

The `.FCStd#` backup format is deprecated as of v0.21 and may be removed in future versions.
To update, check the 'Preferences->General->Document->Use date and FCBak extension' option.
Coin warning in cc_glglue_instance(): Error when setting up the GL context. This can happen if there is no current context, or if the context has been set up incorrectly.
Coin warning in glxglue_isdirect(): Couldn't get current GLX context.
Coin warning in SoGLPolygonOffsetElement::updategl(): OpenGL driver doesn't support z-buffer offsetting

But when I run it in X11 mode by calling
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb freecad
Everything works fine:

I'm running the package from the Arch linux repositories
It's running under Kwin window manager in Wayland mode
I have an Nvidia GPU with the proprietary drivers version 550.78

Here's the file I used in the screenshots. But it probably doesn't matter, even starting a new empty project gives the same problem
