I've not seen any such issues on Windows/Linux/OS X, could be others 
though *shrugg*. I'm pretty sure Qt uses the native API as a backend 
anyway, I remember reading an article about them transitioning from 
carbon to cocoa on OS X (the native APIs) on their blog at some point, 
I'd be surprised if they didn't do the same for Windows.
