    Hi,

    Do you mean you are building TexMaker with Qt 6 ?

    @SGaist I had a working version of TexMaker and after I installed Qt6, the F1 key did not work. My statement is that I had seen stating that TexMaker was base on Qt5.

      What you do not explain is how you installed TexMaker, nor Qt 6.

      Qt 5 and Qt 6 have explicit different so version so there's no risk for an application to pick the wrong major release by accident.

        For TexMaker I downloaded texmaker_5.0.4_ubuntu_20_10_amd64.deb and ran it.
        For Qt6 I ran the open source version of qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-1-online.run.

        I am looking for the site were Qt5 is mentioned as the base for Texaamaker, I will post it when I find it.

          @SGaist I found one reference to Qt5, namely:

          sudo apt remove appmenu-qt5

          That was for Linux, but my Win 10 TexMaker has the same problem.

            I currently do wonder how an isolated installation of Qt 6 might interfere with TexMaker.

            Can you run ldd on the TexMaker binary ?

                That's what I was suspecting nothing related to Qt 6.

                Did you try to run TexMaker from the command line to see if you have any log messages about what is going on ?

                      Do you get it to work again if you remove Qt 6 ?

                          @ofmrew 6.0.1 is removed but TexMaker is still broke.

                            Looks like it's unrelated to Qt 6 then.

                            Did you try to check if there's a log or something generated by TexMaker ? Did you try to start it from the command line ?

                              It seems to indicate that the pdf file was written, but I checked and it was not. I hope it helps.

                                I don't know if it's related but worth a check.

                                  @SGaist I looked and it is not required. On the Win 10 computer TexMaker was working correctly, the change was the Qt6 install which resulted in it not working. Mint Linux was a new install.

                                    Did you re-install TexMaker ?

                                          @SGaist I removed Qt6 and reinstalled it, then I uninstalled TexMaker and reinstalled it. Same problem, note that this is on win 10. Win 10 also has qt5 installed. I have not tried it on Mint Linux.

                                          The question now is should I remove TexMaker and all versions of qt, the try TexMaker with no qt installed?
