  Many attempts have been made to characterise and solve the infamous
measurement problem of quantum mechanics by advocating, implicitly or
explicitly, different realist perspectives. As a result, we are still uncertain
where this problem and its corresponding solution are to be located in the
realism-antirealism debate. On the basis of a well-known characterisation of
scientific realism, this paper intends to fill this gap by arguing that the
quantum description of the processes involved in typical measurements is
problematic from a minimal realist point of view, known as semantic realism.
