    Description

      I'm trying to debug a libreoffice / KDE4 / qt4 backtrace / crash.

      The first backtrace (bt-repaint-error.txt) is caught from the repaint error just before the crash. The second BT (bt-segv.txt) is the real SIGSEGV.

      The bug is also open at libreoffice (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69002), but there are several similar ones in all distributions.

      From my understanding of the backtrace, LO calls the Qt event dispatcher, which processes a draw event, which - at some point - waits for the clipboard using the LO event loop, which processes another (now nested) draw event -> crash.

      This happens, because LO sets
      qApp->clipboard()->setProperty( "useEventLoopWhenWaiting", true );

      because the X11 event processing in clipboardWaitForEvents would interfere with the LO X11 locking.

      I had a look at QX11Data::clipboardWaitForEvents (gui/kernel/qclipboard_x11.cpp:520), and this installs a clipboard event filter in the qapp, which should just handle Clipboard events, but this doesn't seems to work as intended.

      Probably the eventFilter should be installed in the used eventDispatcher in the "useEventLoopWhenWaiting" code branch?
