    Description

      On macOS Ventura and Sonoma, I'm not able to get the pixeltool that ships with Qt to work.

      Everytime I start the tool, the dialog that pixeltool needs permissions to capture the screen pops up, even though the permissions have already been granted. I have tried resetting the permissions, and also tried a fresh install of macOS. The result is always the same: even though the pixeltool has been granted the permission to record the screen, and has been restarted, it can only capture itself and the desktop background. This is on a Macbook Pro M1 Max.
