[Bug 1270571] Re: Systemsettings crash when interrupting kcm-language at loading

[Harald Sitter]

Yeah, it's a qapt bug, that I think I fixed for the next release. Alas,
not quite sure when we are going to do the next release

quick back story:
to prevent the UI from blocking qapt started eventloop processing inside itself, which is sort of like multithreading except it's inside the same thread thus less prone to threading issues. however even without multiple threads it caues issues when an application is not prepared for this sort of behavior. in particular in the bug at hand due to the unblocked UI you were able to cause the quit signal (by closing the app) which caused a destruction while in fact the application was still constructing which is why it exploded. anyway, long story short we decided that this was nasty behavior and removed the unblocking which still seems to give resonable fast experience regardless.

** Package changed: kde-runtime (Ubuntu) => qapt (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: qapt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Committed
