Strange, it's typically the kind of strange crash I have mostly on Windows.

Anyway, happy coding !

Next time I will update the thread title with [solved] tag immediately.

Many thanks:)

A clean and rebuild solve the problem. Thanks the reply!

You don't give enough information. What OS are you running ? Which version of Qt are you using ? When exactly does it crash ?

What does a run through the debugger tell you ?
