In my case I have: Version 2.4.0-beta2 (Sunday, 11 December 2022) Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.8 on platform xcb Qt Version (compile-time): 5.15.8 OS Version (run-time): Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) Python detected: python3 -tt Thinking aloud... here we could also output the Python version, for consistency sake... > Thanks again for all your hard work.
