Is patch for Qt5-check-validity OK ?

@JordanL2
I made the patch
Alexey-T/CudaText@efbcba6
to solve Alexey-T/CudaText#5308

but I am unsure: what version of Lazarus + libQt5Pas do you use?

• if you use old Lazarus (before 3.0) app will not compile for you
• if you use older libQt5Pas app will now crash on start

Flatpak version of app: MainMenu popups misplaced

Can't use system wide python with a CudaText-Qt5 flatpak install (limits use of cudatext plugins that require additional python packages)

This was originally filed at Alexey-T/CudaText#4357 but that is not the correct location.

For the most part the flatpak install of CudaText-Qt5 works great. I have been using for several months now on multiple Linux distributions.

However, there is no straight forward to use cudatext plugins (such as the ftp one that depends on the paramiko python package) that depend on more than just a generic python install.

CudaText ftp plugin: https://github.com/pohmelie/cuda_ftp

I'm not sure how this can be remedied (or if there is any possible solution for this), as I'm not familiar with making flatpak packages.

Flatpak version of app: clipboard is not shared with OS

Please add to Flatpak the Python engine

According to
Alexey-T/CudaText#4357
the normal Python engine cannot be called from Flatpak version. So you need to add the Py engine to the Flatpak. It can be 3.8.x to 3.10.x.

Where should issues with this flatpak package be filed? (here or on the official CudaText site)

See Alexey-T/CudaText#4357

Need to use Lazarus main branch

We need to use the main branch version of Lazarus, as it has a commit that fixes this issue:
Alexey-T/CudaText#5299

Will fork Lazarus and create a tag.

"No Python 3 engine found. Python plugins don't work now. To fix this:"

I'm raising this issue as an announcement to anyone who might hit this issue soon.

The next update of CudaText will be updated to a new flatpak runtime. This will update the Python version, which might cause the above error. To fix it:

1. Click "Plugins" > "Python engine was not found, find it..."
2. Click "Ok" to search from /usr/lib
3. Click "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.so"

By selecting the general Python 3 library symlink this should stop the problem re-occurring in future.
