    Hi
    The following miminal example, basically a stripped-down version of
    https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.11/qtquickcontrols-filesystembrowser-example.html
    crashes when in a multi selection mode (e.g. SelectionMode.MultiSelection or SelectionMode.ExtendedSelection), the selection mouse pointer is dragged beyond row 0.

    filesystembrowser.pro:

    TEMPLATE = app
    TARGET = filesystembrowser
    QT += qml quick widgets
    
    SOURCES += main.cpp
    
    RESOURCES += qml.qrc
    CONFIG += c++11
    
    INSTALLS += target
    

    main.cpp:

    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
    #include <QtQml>
    #include <QFileSystemModel>
    
    class DisplayFileSystemModel : public QFileSystemModel {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        explicit DisplayFileSystemModel(QObject *parent = nullptr)
            : QFileSystemModel(parent) {}
    
        QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const override
        {
            return QFileSystemModel::data(index, role);
        }
    
        QHash<int,QByteArray> roleNames() const override
        {
             QHash<int, QByteArray> result = QFileSystemModel::roleNames();
             return result;
        }
    };
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
    
        QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
        qmlRegisterUncreatableType<DisplayFileSystemModel>("io.qt.examples.quick.controls.filesystembrowser", 1, 0,
                                                           "FileSystemModel", "Cannot create a FileSystemModel instance.");
    
        QFileSystemModel *fsm = new DisplayFileSystemModel(&engine);
    
        fsm->setRootPath(QDir::homePath());
        fsm->setResolveSymlinks(true);
        engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("fileSystemModel", fsm);
        engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("rootPathIndex", fsm->index(fsm->rootPath()));
        engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:///main.qml")));
    
        if (engine.rootObjects().isEmpty())
            return -1;
    
        return app.exec();
    }
    
    #include "main.moc"
    

    main.qml:

    import QtQuick 2.11
    import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
    import QtQml.Models 2.11
    
    ApplicationWindow {
        visible: true
        width: 640
        height: 480
        title: qsTr("File System")
    
        ItemSelectionModel {
            id: selectionModel
            model: fileSystemModel
        }
    
        TreeView {
            id: view
            anchors.fill: parent
            model: fileSystemModel
            rootIndex: rootPathIndex
    
            selection: selectionModel
            selectionMode: SelectionMode.MultiSelection //SelectionMode.ExtendedSelection
    
            TableViewColumn {
                title: "Name"
                role: "fileName"
                resizable: true
            }
        }
    }
    

    The debugger halts at:

    QPersistentModelIndex::operator const QModelIndex&() const
    {
        static const QModelIndex invalid;
        if (d)                                                         <-- DEBUGGER HALTS HERE
            return d->index;
        return invalid;
    }
    

    The stack backtrace is:

    I tested this with Qt 5.11.1 and 5.11.2 on a Debian 9.5 VM and Qt 5.11.0 on Windows 10 x64. They all crash.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Edit: this is not specific to QFileSystemModel it seems. I have another QAbstractItemModel-derived model that also crashes in a similar fashion.
