[texworks] TeXworks 0.6.7 released

[Paul A Norman]

Thanks Stefan,

I thought to attract any wider symptoms from a wider range of people, but
it looks like you have it well diagnosed.

>"Qt 5.15.9 is only available for commercial uses (open source Qt 5.15 has
been discontinued after 5.15.2)"

Do you think Qt might respond to being asked to complete the OpenSource
release to the same level as Commercial, as there must be many other
projects finding it hard to transition to 6 at present as well perhaps?

Kindest regards,
Paul

report was very helpful in confirming what was recently reported at
https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/issues/963 and also hopefully got me
on the right track of figuring out what was going on. Unfortunately, it
seems to be related to the "disappearing lines" problem (that apparently
still haunts me to this day ;)). I have written up my complete hypothesis
at the issue linked above.
