Re: Critical accessibility bug on QT versions available in Bookworm

Hi Samuel,

As fare as I know, Volker Hilsheimer from the QT team has sent the patch 
to some KDE contributors who maintain the Qt 5 patch collection to 
facilitate the inclusion of the fix.

This bug has been fixed in QT6 and ported to the 5.15 branch.

Anyway, I've just received the patch which has been forwarded to me and 
will see what I can do.

Best regards,

Patrick
