Ohh... you're so right! Clicking on the QR code let me share/open with the OBW wallet.
I guess I mistakenly saw the QR code as a passive thing, to photograph, rather than something to click. Maybe it could have a 3D button type effect around it?
Big thanks for coming to my rescue @ekzyisu

Regarding pasting the code into OBW...
doesn't it show you a LNURL to copy below the QR code?
Well, I got it to work, but it was terribly counterintuitive.
I'd previously gone for clicking on the Receive button (but no dice). However, after trying everything else, I clicked on the one place I imagined would be the wrong place to receive sats, the Send button.
There I pasted the code in the only available feed - it worked.
Hmmm, perhaps I should make a github account, put that as an issue for the OBW devs. I'm kinda reticent to do that as it surely would have been picked up by now.
But I could be right - clicking on the send button to paste what I can only describe as a receive invoice cofe does seem really counterintuitive...
But that's for the OBW devs to worry about, not you.
Thanks for your help @ekzyisu.
All the best, Bitman (the Little Old Lady)
