Ok, thank you for your feedback.
So, let's try and dig deeper to fix this...
1) Is there a way you can install debug symbols for Qt and KDElibs? I
have very little experience with Mac, but I suppose that MacPorts
might offer a way to install -debug or -dbg packages. Our goal is to
get something better than "No symbol table info available." in those
backtraces. I'm the developer who created the new About dialog so I
can try and guess what goes on, but without a better backtrace it will
be hard to figure this out.
2) I see you submitted various reports with two different backtraces
in those links so I don't understand, does the crash happen when you
click on one of the elements of the view or just when you close the
dialog? Or are those two different crashes that are triggered by
different situations? It would be great if you could please submit a
bug report with a backtrace and description on how to reproduce on
bugs.kde.org, and it would be best if we could continue this
discussion there so we don't pollute this mailing list with a single
bug. Use "kdelibs" as target and "kdeui" as component in your report,
and describe how and when the about dialog makes your app crash.
Cheers,
