Gotta love these keepers of building blocks, OS changing stuff that has been there for years, without a care (that does not say a Security hole should not be patched).
Stuff happens, we shrug and move on.

AFAIK it's only tabbing between book list cells in Edit mode that has stopped working. As well as assuming it was due to the new version of Qt, I also recall Kovid expressing reservations about its usage in the past. This was another factor in letting it go through to the keeper (backstop).

I use a decade old version of a 3rd party file manager because of unwanted changes. And as I discovered yesterday I'm using an old version of PageEdit, which meant I hadn't stumbled on a defect in the Paste operation of the current version. I still can't remember why I reverted from PE 2.1.0 to PE 2.0.3… but I have unambiguous evidence that that's what I did.
