Using QtGraphicalEffects items (tested ColorOverlay and OpacityMask) within a row with an empty Image item source as source crashed the app with the following stack trace (from Mac OS X):

This use case might occur when an item is dynamically loaded where all the properties are not set yet.

A demo QML file where the crash happens is attached to this report. Please note that the app does not crash when the used Row item contains only one sub item (or only one ColorOverlay item is used). The app does not crash when a valid default Image source property is set.

The crash is reproducible on Mac OS X Beta 5.5 and on Windows Beta 5.5 msvc2012 32bit.

This crash does not happen when used with Qt 5.4.1, so this might be a regression.
