Thanks, for that Qt tick mark bug link. From reading it and the related Monterey specific bug we will have to wait for a fix from Qt for that as Qt 6.2.3 will not be released opensource as it is LTS.

As for making Sigil exactly match the Apple native guidelines for tick marks, that is a very low priority as Sigil is meant to be a cross-platform app first and foremost. And function must come before form. We also like to limit the number of platform specific ifdefs in our Sigil codebase as they make support harder because the flow is not easily apparent.

All that said, I will look into changing the tickmarks location on macOS Sigil for some future release.
