ASSERT failure in QMutex::lock caused by copy to clipboard

[crqt]

I added a simple button to my application that would copy some text to the clipboard.

If i press that button while using a debug build of my application (invoked from qtcreator), then when I close it down normally I get the following written to the Application Output a bunch of times.

Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function.
ASSERT failure in QMutex::lock: "Internal error, infinite wait has timed out.", file thread/qmutex.cpp, line 452
Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function.

Additionally another part of the application does something similar, calling QPlainTextEdit.copy(), and if I execute that code, the same thing error text is output.

Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

Do you unlock mutex after doing requested operation?

[crqt]

No, I did not explicitly unlock mutex. I don't see anywhere in the documentation for "QClipboard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qclipboard.html#details, or "QPlainTextEdit::copy()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qplaintextedit.html#copy where it says this is necessary.

Maybe it is necessary, though if thats the case it seems like an oversight in the documentation...

Hi!
I'm having a very similar problem (perhaps even the same). I have a qtextedit, and when I copy the content using Ctrl+C and the shutdown the application I end up with the same assertions. You can work around this by clearing the clipboard when the application shuts down, but whats the correct way?
BR, Ulf.
