Good point. This is indeed a possible and we've had to make several changes on Linux and Mac to take into account platform-specific issues with Qt 5, I believe. > Besides this I am still using MSVC 2010.

Have you tried on a recent master? We've made a lot of changes, some of them having to do with Qt. It would be good to know that Qt 5.5 still works well for you. By the way, are you aware of any regressions on Windows when using Qt 5.5 over Qt 4.8.6? I think you reported a couple of bugs and I can look for them, but I was just curious if you had an updated status report on the general performance of Qt 5.5 and 2.2dev. > Let's see what Qt 5.6 supports and if I can then still compile > LyX 2.1.x with Qt 4.x and MSVC 2010 on the same PC. Indeed, we will know on October 27 when the beta is released. Scott
