Qt designer crash on custom widget preview

Hi,

I'm not quit sure it's really a bug because it's my first custom widget (but usally I'm not really lucky by default).

I had a segmentation fault when using my new Qt Widget with Qt Designer 4.6. The problem arise when trying to preview the new widget.

when using gdb I found that the problem is in qdesigner_internal::WidgetFactory::applyStyleToTopLevel:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

because a null pointer was passed there:

void WidgetFactory::applyStyleToTopLevel(QStyle *style, QWidget *widget)
{
const QPalette standardPalette = style->standardPalette();
if (widget->style() == style && widget->palette() == standardPalette)
return;
//....
}

here is my widget code

MBICInput::MBICInput(QWidget *parent) : QStackedWidget(parent)

{ displayPage = new QWidget(); displayPage->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("displayPage")); inputLB = new QLabel(displayPage); inputLB->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("inputLabel")); inputLB->setCursor(QCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor)); addWidget(displayPage); EditPage = new QWidget(); EditPage->setProperty("EditInputLine", QVariant(true)); EditPage->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("EditPage")); inputInput = new QLineEdit(EditPage); inputInput->setGeometry(QRect(5, 10, 231, 25)); inputInput->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("input")); addWidget(EditPage); _animation = new QString(""); _message = new QString("Message"); _validator = new QRegExpValidator(QRegExp("[a-zA-Z]+"), this); }

MBICInput::~MBICInput() {
}

QValidator::State MBICInput::validate(QString &text, int &pos) const{
return _validator->validate(text, pos);
}

void MBICInput::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *) {
QPainter painter(this);
painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);
}

QSize MBICInput::minimumSizeHint() const{
return QSize(200, 40);
}

QSize MBICInput::sizeHint() const{
return QSize(200, 40);
}

void MBICInput::setAnimation(const QString &animation){
*_animation = animation;
update();
}

QString MBICInput::animation() const{
return *_animation;
}

void MBICInput::setMessage(const QString &message){
*_message = message;
update();
}

QString MBICInput::message() const{
return *_message;
}

void MBICInput::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event){
if(currentIndex()==0){
setCurrentIndex(1);
}else{
setCurrentIndex(0);
}
update();
}

I tried the same code with the fedora Qt version 4.5.3-9 and it worked just fine.

you will find my entire code in attachement.
