This is actually a limitation (you can call it feature regression if you want) in Qt 5 that has been there since Qt 5.0.0. The reason you have not seen it before Fedora 27 is because Okular was still using Qt 4 until Fedora 25 (included). (I guess you skipped Fedora 26, because that already had a Qt 5 version of Okular.) Thankfully, as Rex Dieter points out, this is finally being addressed in Qt 5.11 (see https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.11 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54464). Unfortunately, that release is still a few months away from now. (Qt upstream currently expects to release Qt 5.11.0 on May 31.) I would actually argue that we should backport this to our packages sooner, backports from OpenSUSE are linked in QTBUG-54464. But I am not a maintainer of qt5-qtbase, so it is not my decision to make.
