SUMMARY
After having downloaded Krita 5.2.6 on my iMac 27" under macOS 10.14.6, I try to start Krita 5.2.6
OBSERVED RESULT
the thermometer starts  and stops (definitely) at about 60%. (see attached picture). The same behaviour seems to occur with all Krita5 but Krita4 is working fine. However Krita 5 was said to work on macOS 10.14.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 10.14.6

I tested this on two macs, a 2015 Intel macbook pro with Monterey and a Macbook pro with Sequia and in both cases it worked.

I guess the real bug is that we'll have to update the minimum macos version. Apple changed their verifcation stuff a couple of times, and it's not possible to satisfy all versions of macos that we technically support anymore. 

There should be ways around this, and I remember seeing a discussion of that on krita-artists.org, but this is not a bug we can fix.
