    Description

      Look at the following example (also linked to the report), if you click the item and trigger the action, the latter obviously gets destructed, and crashes the application:

      import QtQuick 2.1
      import QtQuick.Controls 1.1
      
      Item {
          width: 400; height: 200
      
          Action {
              id: action2
              text: "Action2"
          }
      
          Menu {
              id: menu
              MenuItem {
                  id: menuItem
                  action: Action {
                      id: action1
                      text: "Action1"
                      onTriggered: {
                          menuItem.action = action2
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      
          //how this should have prevented GC-ing
          property QtObject action1Ref: action1
      
          MouseArea {
              anchors.fill: parent
              onClicked: menu.popup()
          }
      }
      

      The console output is:

      Object 0xf98140 destroyed while one of its QML signal handlers is in progress.
      Most likely the object was deleted synchronously (use QObject::deleteLater() instead), or the application is running a nested event loop.
      This behavior is NOT supported!
      <Unknown File>:65535: function()

      Unknown macro: { [code] }

      The program has unexpectedly finished.

      Note that there's a reference to the action in the scene, which should have prevented destruction in the first place, but even despite that, garbage-collected actions should probably account for coming out of scope in an onTriggered handler, and use deleteLater (just like the console warning says).
