Status
------

This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for KDE Frameworks and Christoph Feck.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit 0ea74ebc5ce3e4adcad37b9bb9096988d438848f by René J.V. Bertin \
to branch master.


Repository: kwidgetsaddons


Description
-------

I was seeing a systematic crash on exitting kdenlive5, on OS X deep under the `delete \
menu()` instruction in `KSelectAction::~KSelectAction`. The backtrace suggested this \
might be due to a pending event (or an event due to the menu deletion) being \
delivered post-mortem to an instance of a QMenu related class.

My fix is based on 3 principles:
1) release the "foreign" member instance (`menu()`) before releasing the own d-ptr
2) Remove the QMenu instance from ourselves before deleting it to have one less \
potential dangling reference to it 3) QMenu is a QObject descendent that corresponds \
to a UI element: on OS X it is safer to dispose these through `deleteLater()` rather \
than directly.


Diffs
-----

  src/kselectaction.cpp 1381099 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126725/diff/


Testing
-------

On OS X 10.9.5, Qt 5.5.1 and KF5 Frameworks 5.16.0, built for installation under \
/opt/local .

It seems that points 1) and 2) above already solve the crash issue in kdenlive on OS \
X, but the general principle stands so I suggest keeping 3) in library code like \
this.


Thanks,

René J.V. Bertin
