Since version 4.8.3 Telegram Desktop needs Qt6 for complete Wayland

tdesktop relies on were not built against the latest Qt, and migration was

I see, so it has to do with Qt6 after all. I spoke with one of the
upstream maintainers and he was suspicious of the Qt5 dependency.
You are right but this protocol is an optional part of Wayland. KWin in KDE
Plasma implements the protocol, Mutter in GNOME does not.
Yes, I am aware. I've been using Kwin/KDE for a full year on Wayland
with almost no issues (its implementation of the protocol is great) so I
was surprised this became an issue suddenly - but now that you mention
Qt6, it all makes sense.
Of course, you always can force native Wayland but at your own risk. I will
also add a patch restoring the checkbox in all modes.
That would be great. I didn't experience any issues with Wayland so far
even in its current state so it'd be great if you could restore the
checkbox for now until the transition to Qt6 is complete.
As this is not really a bug but a side effect of an ongoing transition
please feel free to close this report. Thank you for the explanation.
