Apparently one of the v2.7.x-introduced bugs related to QT has been fixed:

That's good news, and I can report that in my limited experience I 
haven't found anything yet that's a show-stopper for the apps I'm 
working on with v2.7.3.  Earlier versions of the v2.7 series were dogdy 
in a few areas, introducing new bugs that had never been in the engine 
before, but the latest build appears - thus far - to be the redemption.

As for v2.6 vs v2.7, Apple's fickleness leaves us no choice for the long 
term:  having implemented their third major paradigm shift in just over 
a decade (lowering ROI for loyal Mac developers each time), now Rev v2.7 
is required to run native on newer Apple hardware.
