Wayland crashes and GNOME Shell dumps core because of Strawberry qt6

I was using strawberry to listen to some music but anytime I  clicked on the toolbar or opened the settings the whole Wayland session would crash and gnome-shell would dump core, causing me to re-login to GNOME. I'm running GNOME on Wayland.

Setup:

linux-hardened 5.19.8.hardened2-1
gnome-shell 1:42.5-1
mutter 42.5-1
nvidia-dkms 515.76-1
strawberry 1.0.9-1
qt6-base 6.3.2-1
qt6-wayland 6.3.2-1

It happens because of strawberry only, but I'm posting it here because it seems to be QT and/or Wayland related. Since there has been no recent strawberry updates I believe this is caused by the new qt6-base or qt6-wayland updates. These are some of the errors that I get:

Also, ever since the recent qt updates, my mouse cursor size has been huge in qt apps. Could this be related?

Re: Wayland crashes and GNOME Shell dumps core because of Strawberry qt6

Gnome shell appears to be the reporter but the crash is in mutter.

Can you test with another wayland compositor then gnome/mutter like weston or sway ?
