PR: Add --no-sandbox argument for QtApplication

[tlunet]

Description of Changes

Add --no-sandbox argument when instantiating QtApplication object, in order to avoid a bug linked to Ubuntu 22.04 (see https://discourse.slicer.org/t/extensions-not-showing-anything/23432/5 and https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-platform-notes.html)

Note sure if this is needed in manager.py tho, put it here just for consistency.

I can confirm that this fixes the issue for me when running from source using python bootstrap.py.

Good work!

Thanks @jitseniesen, you did pointed me already in the good direction with your comment on PyQt 😃

Btw, should I make this parameter conditional to Linux so the MacOS test can pass ?

@tlunet Nice, to me it indicated that it was too hard a problem for me to solve, so I gave up!

Btw, should I make this parameter conditional to Linux so the MacOS test can pass ?

I don't see evidence that the MacOS failure has anything to do with your change; in fact, it's not clear at all why the test timed out. I am running it again, see whether it makes a difference.

Say hello to Daniel Ruprecht (I saw SDC and TUHH on your GitHub profile, so I assume you work with him).

OK, looks like there is an issue with spyder/plugins/ipythonconsole/tests/test_ipythonconsole.py on Mac. I don't know what to do, it probably needs somebody with more experience and/or access to a Mac.

Yeah, I don't think it is. I restarted that job to see if it passes a second time.

Thanks @tlunet for your help digging this problem and proposing a solution for it!
