QtCreator crashes
-
QtCreator crashes on me, at least 4 or 5 times a day. Is anyone else having this problem?
There's no discernible pattern to the crash; it sometimes happens when it's just sitting there & I'm staring at my code.
My system is a Mac 10.9.4, using Qt 5.3.1 and QtCreator 3.2.1 (although the same crash happened has happened under 3.1.2). I've clean-installed Qt a couple times (when upgrading) and still have the crashes.
Here's the top of a typical crash log (I can send more if that's helpful):

@Sometimes the the "Exception codes" line looks like this:

@Any advice appreciated!

Hi and welcome to devnet,
When you built Qt Creator, was it with a self-built Qt ?

Ok, good, thanks for sharing the link

Hi, I see in your crash log QTimerInfoList::activateTimers(), and there are many bug reports filed for that function, like "this one":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-11262
But the good news is, now there seems to be a solution, perhaps it's applicable for you also: launch QtCreator and select About Plugins... and check if you have the UpdateInfo plugin enabled. If so disable it. (This is from the bug report link above).
