That is intended. Qt5 used to have a bunch of text codecs, which were 
not included in the Qt6 core packages (which only includes UTF8/16/32 
and Latin1) but rather were packaged separately (with a few other 
things) in the qt5-compat component. In order to be backwards compatible 
(and because we relatively frequently hear from people using some old 
documents in unusual encodings) I kept those text codecs for now. In the 
future, TeXworks will probably (have to) transition to handling text 
encoding by itself (possibly through icu4c), but that's different story.

Glad to hear that.
