It seems it's impossible to set a QtQuick window as the parent of a QtWidget window. So Kirigami style about page should be used.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-08-03 03:08:04 UTC 
Yes, that would be a good option.

Comment 5 Jack Hill 2021-09-03 23:40:12 UTC 
The same issue occurs for "Configure Elisa...", "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts...", and "Report Bug..." all in the hamburger menu.

"Configure Elisa..." opens a window in the corners of the screen as if it were a separate app being launched, while the others open in the centre of the screen.
Comment 6 ilutov 2021-11-16 23:12:51 UTC 
Is `QApplication::activeWindow()` an option for the "About Elisa" and "Report Bug..."? That seems to work fine.

"Configure Elisa..." uses a `QQmlComponent`, I couldn't find an option to set the parent window here. Similarly, "Elisa Handbook" calls `QDesktopServices::openUrl()` where setting a parent window doesn't seem possible.
