QtCreator crashing in designer mode
Hello,
I wanted to learn Qt, so I have installed QtCreator 4.12.0. However, when I want to add (or manipulate) elements in a QML file in the design mode, QtCreator crashes on a null pointer dereference. Would you please help me determine if this is a Qt bug or a misconfiguration on my side (library problem, etc)? I've tried asking on Qt forums but nobody seems to have this problem, perhaps it is arch-related?
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new project - QtQuick application, scroll template
Choose Qt version (I tried both 5.12 and 5.14), leave the rest of the options to their defaults
Switch to the design mode and try to drag and drop a QtQuick positioner in between the ApplicationWindow and the ScrollView
QtCreator crashes every single time on a null pointer dereference. The positioner can sometimes be added elsewhere into the hierarchy but when changing the hierarchy order later on, QtCreator crashes.
