It seems that Qt now adds these buttons by default, and this was not intentional.

Well I am going to worry about it, for me, and perhaps others too, it is a disability related accessibility issue.

If I hit Alt/Space,N while the Reports or Spellcheck window has focus its will disappear into the ether. To get it back I will either have to find and use an obscure utility to poke the window back to life, or stop and start Sigil. In the highly unlikely event I minimise the About box - I will probably have to kill Sigil.


Do you mean the buttons were not added intentionally in Sigil or were not added intentionally in Qt?

The 'standard' that states "No Min and Max buttons on About boxes" has existed for 30 maybe 40 years, WTL might even have a class for them. Not that anyone adheres to standards and suchlike these days… in fact they seem to go out of their way to disregard them.
