As a result, Filer and the Desktop Preferences are not styled using the stylesheet.
So the question is, why does filer-qt --desktop crash when the workaround is not there.

[probonopd]

When it is crashing (this currently can be forced by running Filer without --desktop (then our crude workaround is not used and it is loading stylestheet.css) and then running Filer with --desktop while the other one is still running:

So when it does not crash, it does some font loading related work. Is this the part that is crashing when there is a stylesheet.qss file?

Looking at the code, there is an invocation of QStyledItemDelegate near probono: FolderItemDelegate::FolderItemDelegate created - coincidence?

[probonopd]

We have some calls to the obsolete QStyleOptionViewItemV4 which probably should be ported to QStyleOptionViewItem.

However, we have those in both folderitemdelegate.cpp and in desktopitemdelegate.cpp. The crash only happens when the desktop is being shown. So most likely what is causing it must be in the latter but not the former...

We have a QStyleOptionViewItemV4 there.

Replacing the V4s does not prevent the crash. They are probably just aliases anyway https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.11/qstyleoptionviewitem-obsolete.html.

[probonopd]

This can be reproduced with a way simpler style plugin, based on the Qt example "SimpleStyle" that comes with Qt Creator, with only one method in simplestyle.cpp:

void SimpleStyle::polish(QApplication* app)
{
    qDebug() << "probono: SimpleStyle::polish(QApplication* app)";

    QCommonStyle::polish(app);

    app->setPalette(standardPalette());

    // probono: Use ~/.config/stylesheet.qss or /etc/xdg/tylesheet.qss if exists
    QString qsspath;
    qsspath = QStandardPaths::locate(QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation, QStringLiteral("stylesheet.qss"), QStandardPaths::LocateFile);
    if(qsspath.isEmpty() == false) {
        QMessageBox *msgBox = new QMessageBox(QMessageBox::NoIcon, "Title", qsspath);
        msgBox->exec();
        QFile File(qsspath);
        File.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
        QString StyleSheet = QLatin1String(File.readAll());
        app->setStyleSheet(StyleSheet);
    }
}

If we build this, then

sudo cp ~/build-styleplugin-Desktop-Debug/styles/libsimplestyleplugin.so /usr/local/lib/qt5/plugins/styles/

and then run QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="" QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=simplestyle /System/Filer.AppDir/AppRun followed by QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="" QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=simplestyle /System/Filer.AppDir/AppRun --desktop, then we also get the crash.

If I comment out the app->setStyleSheet(StyleSheet); above then it does not crash.

If I replace the line with app->setStyleSheet(""); then it does not crash.

If I replace the line with app->setStyleSheet("QObject { font-size: 14pt; }"); or with app->setStyleSheet("QObject { }"); then it also crashes.

Interesting: When setStyleSheet to anything but "" then SimpleStyle::polish(QApplication* app) seems to get called twice. Maybe polish is not the correct place to hook this in?

[probonopd]

If we apply the same stylesheet not through this plugin but in Filer filer.cpp as shown below, then it does not crash and the qss does get applied (but as soon as there is anything in the qss file, even a comment, then the desktop background is always white, the font-related settings of Filer are ignored and the stylesheet always "wins").

This shows that one can set a stylesheet without Filer crashing when the desktop is rendered, but with weird side effects and not in the way we are trying to do it in this plugin... so it may well be that we need to turn out attention the Filer's desktop drawing code (as well)...

}

[probonopd]

Another application where this can be reproduced with:

https://github.com/mildred/qfm

When using QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=panda (as is the default on helloSystem), then

• It segfaults immediately when /usr/local/etc/xdg/stylesheet.qss exists
• When I move that file away, it does not exist

So it's definitely not a Filer bug.

[kettle-7]

Closed then?

[probonopd]

Hesitant to close this as long the bug can be reproduced with
https://github.com/mildred/qfm. While it is possible that it is not a QtPlugin bug it seems like it gets triggered when QtPlugin and a non-empty qss file are used.
