Following your guidelines I've been able to build a number of 
Lazarus-Qt5 with different Lazarus versions (2.0.12 - 2.2.4 -2.2.5) but 
the results are disappointing. While all of them work perfectly with 
cocoa WS, Qt5 rises a number of weird issues.
Editor window font treated wrongly in 2.0.12 and 2.2.4 (the font 
displayed is different from the one selected, with font gliphs and font 
spacing not matching), and in all versions weird behaviour of main title 
bar and drop down menus.
The title bar shows the menu entries only if focus is in the main 
Lazarus window, and they disappear if focus is on any other window, and 
the menus are scrambled. Lazarus ->preferences opens "Configure build 
Lazarus", the last line of the submenus is missing, some entries are 
translated, some are not. Most keyboard entries aren't recognized, etc.
Apparently the interaction between Qt bindings and Rosetta, plus a Qt 
version not well supported by Ventura makes a mess.

I've reached the conclusion that the best approach would be to switch to 
a native arm64 build and use Qt6 which is the one supported with M1 
processor. I've rebuilt Lazarus 2.2.4-cocoa in arm64 and everything 
works fine. I've seen in the forum that you're testing Qt6. If you could 
let me have what is required, I could integrate your tests with my test 
on arm64 architecture. Would it be possible?

Thank you,

Giuliano
