🐞QMenu causes the application to crash

[NathanaelA]

For those who might be interested -- I did find a way to make the QMenuBar/QMenu massively more stable at least in my app.

Basically in the menu's triggered event handler I add a setTimeout(buildMenu, 250); Where the buildMenu() creates a NEW QMenuBar, and all new QMenu's and then sets the newly created QMenuBar as the main window menubar. Basically replacing and discarding the prior menu any time anything is done with a menu selection. It isn't perfect, but it does make the app usable for using more than one menu item...

v0.59.2 does not exhibit this crash for me. 100% reproducible with v0.60 and v0.61.

I updated to the master branch version right before the v0.62.0 launch from v0.59.0 today (8/28/2023) but my project started to crash after some seconds of use, I guess this was the cause.

I decided to install v0.62.0 but got an error related to /node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui/dist/index.js directory, I did a downgrade to v0.61.2 and my project started to crash randomly again.

Tried with v0.61.0, and still the crashes were there so I did a complete downgrade to v0.59.0 and then there were no crashes...

I returned to v0.62.0 to make some tests, since my project has a fixed-size window. The crash can be triggered by hovering QMenu items in the first seconds of running the program, if I wait enough I can hover and click them safely. The crash seems to happen faster when setNativeMenuBar is true.

I removed the QMenuBar from my app and there were no crashes.

Hope that this helps, not being able to update is bad.

I'm only seeing this occur on Windows (perhaps related to QMenuBar). Not sure it's helpful, but testing with WinDbg shows the following exception:

qode!v8::internal::SetupIsolateDelegate::SetupHeap

It also doesn't seem to crash while the triggered function, if you have an action assigned to the menu item (ie, showing a dialog), is running. It'll crash after it is completed. Hover events don't seem to crash and if a menu isn't selected, it doesn't crash. v0.60 did changes to menus, so that makes sense why it only shows up in that version.

I have to say I'm also seeing this issue in v.065 with QMenuBar/QMenu. I do NOT get a stack trace, but it randomly exits typically on the second interaction with the menu on Linux. Hitting ALT-F for the &File menu in my app then escape twice to close the menu and exit the menu navigation then do something else that causes some other part of the screen to refresh a QWidget, then tap ALT-P for the Program menu, and boom, app crashes instantly.
