Copying from QPlainTextEdit Results in SIGSEGV

**splinterz** · 29th November 2013, 13:19

just the widget on a form. pasting into it is ok, copying results in the error below, and clears the clipboard. Qt 5.1.1. anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Show you code, when you get the text

There's no code of mine running when this happens; it's on ctrl-c to copy the selected text.

I don't think your problem has anything to do with Qt. Try to build a new project and see the behavior of QPlainTextEdit.
You may also run the project in debug mode to give us more information.

That image is from debug mode...

Maybe some library mismatch, e.g. the ICU library used by the program not being the one Qt was compiled against.

that sounds promising, how do i check for such a mismatch?

i tried creating a new project as recommended, and the textedit works as expected, so i guess there's something wrong/broken with the other project.
