I will repeat myself even here.

I cannot reproduce the crash and you didn't even provide any backtrace or a prove that this is Wayland related.

This is an issue. I already spoke with the QtWayland developer and he unfortunately doesn't have time right now to look into this. I will try to look into this myself tomorrow.

As I told you in the bug above, I believe this a Wayland limitation.

We are trying hard to make all the issues you have fixed, but nothing can be done immediately and requires some time. It helps that you report all the issues you have, but please be little more patient.

Thank you.
