That doesn't find anything at all:
(gdb) bt -full
No stack.
The only thing I can deduce is that it must have something to do with drawing
the suggested recipients. It only occurs when I type the third character, and
only if that matches existing contacts - I can type random strings without
issue.
This would also match the wayland error I get (inlined from the bug report):
qt.qpa.wayland.textinput: virtual void
QtWaylandClient::QWaylandTextInputv3::disableSurface(wl_surface*) Try to
disable surface 0x62e32b0fb590 with focusing surface 0x62e32a255420
zxdg_exporter_v2#75: error 0: surface must be an xdg_toplevel
Odd. I have never seen a cpp program exit so hard without at least producing a
coredump.
Cheers (und Liebe Grüße!),
