      I get crashes and error reports from valgrind with a fairly trivial program.

      • All the UI that the problem is in comes from generated code (ui file)
      • The main() does absolutely nothing interesting
      • It is causing crashes on newer Qt versions (I deploy with 5.4 on linux and 5.6 elsewhere, the problem is not visible there)
      • Even taking binaries built with Qt 5.4 and running it with new Qt exposes the problem (so it is not a problem with code generation, or with the build process itself)

      It looks like some heap corruption caused by bad access to widget focus chains while the widgets are beging destroyed (not just normal, but also deferred destruction):
