Deleting QGraphicsItem with QGraphicsEffect leads to segfault

[jsulm]

@tfm123 Why do you create a QGraphicsRectItem instance in the body of the constructor?

MyRect(QGraphicsItem* parent = nullptr):
		QGraphicsRectItem{QRectF{0.0f, 0.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f}, parent}
{
    setPen(QPen{Qt::white});
    setBrush(QBrush{Qt::white, Qt::SolidPattern});
    new QGraphicsRectItem{this}; // <-- why this?
}

@Oleksandr-Malyushytskyy The boundingRect() of the rectangle does not change when the effect is applied to it. But the effect itself has a boundingRect() which changes when the effect is applied. I don't know if this is how it is supposed to be.

[tfm123]

@Oleksandr-Malyushytskyy This is one of the first things I tried and unfortunately it does not help.

[tfm123]

@jsulm Like I already wrote, the issue only triggers when MyRect has a child. This is an example. The only reason for things to be like they are is that they are required to be this way to trigger the issue.

I think this bug is described here:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-18021

My workaround was to setVisible(false) before removing the item.

@aziesemer Got random crashes of QLabel with PixMap + QGraphicsEffect on Ubuntu 18.04 + Qt 5.15.2.

Anyone had the same issue?

[JoeCFD]

@JoeCFD
after I changed the code in the destructor to

    if ( nullptr != m_label ) {
        m_label->setGraphicsEffect( nullptr );
        m_label->setVisible( false );
        m_label->clear();
        delete m_label;
        m_label = nullptr;
    }

backtrace results are different now:

[JoeCFD]

@JoeCFD delete m_label; causes the crash. But the crash does not happen every time when the parent of m_label is destroyed.

[SGaist]

@JoeCFD did you try the workaround mentioned by @Chris-Kawa ?

[JoeCFD]

@SGaist Thanks for your reply. The random crash may be caused by corrupt memory. Will use valgrind to check the code out.
