Hey, I'm in the same case.

There is complimentary info on the flatpak repo "issues" thread: https://github.com/flathub/org.beeref.BeeRef/pull/2#issuecomment-1450105158 , but it looks like it will require modification to the source code.

@rbreu Hello! Can you have a look into this?

[roland3564]

Wow! really? interesting, if there is something I can do, just tell me!

P.S: David, you're my hero! Since I started using Krita I always admired how you blended in the Krita Community, how you actively contributed to every single brush, code and setting, making comics open to everyone and at anytime, I'm reading your series "Pepper and Carrot", and I'm loving every single episode of it to the heart..

Now I'm relatively young, but one day, I'll be an artist as successful as you! I promise! And I'll be there to help you fix Krita one byte at a time!

Cheers! -Roland.

Oh Wow Roland! That's so good to read 🤩 Thank you! I wish you very much for your career to become an amazing artist. If you ever have a portfolio somewhere and need constructive feedback, just email me (my email is on my blog, "about" page). Thanks again for your nice words. :+1:

The flatpack version was using a newer version of PyQt than I was using. I have now fixed the PyQt version in setup.py and also upgraded to the latest PyQt version, doing the according necessary fixes.
