The people who designed the Qt mac style didn't think much about flat

flat group boxes. Apple is very much about uniformity when it comes
to
style, I think. And it's not like the Qt people couldn't have better
things to do than take care of a non-default style on mac given the
great amount of unresolved Qt bugs.
The people who design the styles are not necessarily the people who fix
Qt bugs.
I think if flat group boxes are not used on Mac, they should link them
to non-flat ones.
I any case this is an issue in the style and should be fixed there.
That's exactly what I am saying. We should apply a fix to the style!
Or do you mean: Qt should fix the style but not LyX? I think there have
been several Qt bugs that LyX has worked around in the past, so I don't
see why this one is special. It might take Qt a long time to fix such
an, arguably, secondary problem (since the usage of flat groupboxes are
uncommon on macOS). It seems like an obvious problem but no one seems to
have bothered for now. I think that's due to people not using the flat
style group boxes, for example, Scribus does not. IMO, if it is rather
easy, we should do something about it in the meanwhile.
