Dear all, After debugging a little, it appears that in order: - QProgressDialog destructor is called - Then QProgressDialog::setValue(slot) is called by the connection from BackgroundFileWorker::progressChanged(int) signal This means the slot is called after the dialog was destroyed. It was

Hi Bo, Thanks for helping, please read my initial post carefully. 1) I do actually call start(), look at the forelast line of BackgroundFileWorker::startWriting, both in the paste code, and in the attached zip 2) run() is empty here because I have stripped down my app (2Mb of code) to make a

I can't actually do what you suggest because the file writing is done by an external lib written by me, but which should not have Qt dependencies. Anyway, that's not the topic here: If the user can't really do anything during the duration of the save why not just show them a busy cursor. If

Hi Etienne, Ok, fair enough. I just compiled and ran your example with 4.8.5. I don't have 4.8.1 available anywhere. It ran the save dialog without any crashes. Looks like you have to upgrade to a newer Qt version. Which you really should do anyway. 4.8.1 is *old*. If upgrading doesn't work,

Hi everyone! I save some compressed XML data taking huge sizes such as 1Gb, files saves can last more than 1 minute. A busy cursor cannot be distinguished from a frozen app in Windows. But I should not even have to justify myself on this as this is not the topic here. I have sent a minimal

Thanks Bo, Did you try the save dialog several times? It may take a few times to crash (2 to 50). I rapidly click on the button then press enter multiple times to trigger it. I was just starting compiling 4.8.5 while you were writing this e-mail :) Sze-Howe : sure! Cheers, Etienne

Nope, as I'm under windows now. But I will undust my valgrind dedicated linux virtualbox for this... Hoping that the bug happens under linux, which is far from sure. I managed to trigger it with a timer and no user interaction, but it takes more time to crash. Cheers 2014/1/23
