There is no such version. Qt5 was rather new when Sigil chose to integrate it, but is now maturing quite nicely. It has its bugs, sure--just as its predecessor still continues to have unresolved bugs that plagued previous versions of Sigil. The reason to use Qt5 is because Qt4 will eventually fade away (and porting is no trivial process). There comes a "bite the bullet" moment in all development when you rely on frameworks that continue to evolve.

But bugs have nothing to do with why XP sometimes struggles with Qt5.
