QKeySequence behavior differences/crashes in PySide2 compared to PySide?

Timm Wagener

As I'm currently porting a gui application from Python 2.7.14/PySide 1.2.4 to Python 3.7.1/PySide2 5.11.2 I'm encountering a few problems with the shortcut machinery. More specifically:

QKeySequence instantiation seems to return different/surprising results in PySide2 compared to PySide.
The + operators on Qt.Key_* enums don't seem to return the expected results. For example QKeySequence(Qt.SHIFT + Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_Z) doesn't seem to work properly.
When using string codes for instantiation of QKeySequences it works, for example QKeySequence("Shift+Ctrl+Z") seems functional.
Instantiation with QKeySequence.StandardKey like QKeySequence(QKeySequence.Redo) simply crashes in PySide2.
PyQt5 doesn't seem to have any of these issues (as tested by users on StackOverflow). Could this be issues/bugs with the binding of PySide2 _(possibly related to enum addition)?

Are these known bugs? Did something change in the expected usage? Did I miss something in the docs? Are there differences in how enums are added?

Win7x64/Python 2.7.14/PySide 1.2.4 (working)

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""Test QKeySequence equality/matching in PySide."""
from PySide.QtCore import Qt
from PySide.QtGui import QKeySequence

sequence_a = QKeySequence("Shift+Ctrl+Z")
sequence_b = QKeySequence(Qt.SHIFT + Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_Z)

# string representation
print(sequence_a.toString())
print(sequence_b.toString())

print("-"*20)

# equality/matching
print(sequence_a.matches(sequence_b))
print(sequence_a == sequence_b)

print("-"*20)

# this works in PySide
print(QKeySequence(QKeySequence.Redo))

# PySide.QtGui.QKeySequence.SequenceMatch.ExactMatch

# PySide.QtGui.QKeySequence(67108953, 0, 0, 0)

It seems that the following code works equally on Python2 and 3:

print(Qt.SHIFT + (Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_Z))
print(QKeySequence(Qt.SHIFT + (Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_Z)).toString())

# 100663386
