Solved Setting "background:" property on TextArea causes segfault
-
I was surprised when I realized the other day that the reason an app was segfaulting on me was the seemingly innocuous statement in a
TextArea
:background: Rectangle { color: colors.window }
(For context, see here.)
At the suggestion of another developer, I tried setting various attributes of the
Rectangle
, settingbackground
to anItem
, and setting it tonull
. Nothing worked. Apparently, merely including thebackground:
in theTextArea
created the problem.I am on Ubuntu 20.04, using Qt 5.12.8. I also verified that the problem exists on Qt 5.15.1. Furthermore, I have tried importing different versions of
QtQuick.Controls
(up to 2.12), which did not work. -
Somebody fixed this for me.
