      Qt Creator 18.0.0

      Qt 6.10.0 RC

       

      Device: MacBook Pro M4

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Launch the screen capture example app.
      2. Observe the list of detected windows.
      3. Notice that system tray icons and other UI elements are displayed as separate windows.

       

      Expected: Only actual application windows should be detected and listed for screen capture. Non-window elements such as tray icons should be ignored.

      Actual: System tray icons and similar UI elements are incorrectly detected and listed as windows.

      Reproducibility:  100% **
