    Description

      I have a Lenovo m14t monitor with multitouch and stylus. It has a wacom tablet, and the stylus is an active one with battery, pressure sensitivity and two buttons: One "stylus button" and the other turns it into an eraser.

      When I use it under Xorg with the wacom driver from the xf86-input-wacom project, any Qt5 based application I tried so far crashes with a Segmentation fault as soon as I touch the touchscreen with my finger (it does not so on stylus input).

      This tried for the following software:

      • marble-qt, version 2.2.20,
      • kate, version 21.08.2.
      • krusader, version 2.7.2,
      • dolphin, version 21.08.2,
      • digikam, version 7.3.01,
      • qt5ct, version 1.5.

      Underlying qt5-base libraries are version 5.15.2+kde+r237, from Artix Linux; see below under "Environment".

      As an example, here for marble-qt a gdb run:

      Start it with gdb marble-qt, input run on gdb's command line, waiting until the programme is up, produces the following output:

      Starting program: /usr/bin/marble-qt

      Now, when I touch the programme with my finger on the touchscreen, the following output comes:

      Thread 1 "marble-qt" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
      0x00007fffda91ab27 in QXcbConnection::xi2ProcessTouch(void*, QXcbWindow*) () from /usr/lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5

      Then, in the gdb command line, typing bt for "backtrace", yields the following:

      #0  0x00007fffda91ab27 in QXcbConnection::xi2ProcessTouch(void*, QXcbWindow*) () at /usr/lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5#1  0x00007fffda8e6dcf in QXcbConnection::handleXcbEvent(xcb_generic_event_t*) () at /usr/lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5#2  0x00007fffda8e82d1 in QXcbConnection::processXcbEvents(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>) () at /usr/lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5#3  0x00007fffda90f7f8 in  () at /usr/lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5#4  0x00007ffff4e6909c in g_main_context_dispatch () at /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0#5  0x00007ffff4ebe7f9 in  () at /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0#6  0x00007ffff4e666e5 in g_main_context_iteration () at /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0#7  0x00007ffff6661a8a in QEventDispatcherGlib::processEvents(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>) () at /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5#8  0x00007ffff6606a1b in QEventLoop::exec(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>) () at /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5#9  0x00007ffff660f208 in QCoreApplication::exec() () at /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5#10 0x000055555556a090 in  ()#11 0x00007ffff5f6eb25 in __libc_start_main () at /usr/lib/libc.so.6#12 0x000055555556ac8e in  ()

      Typing cont for "continue" in gdb's command line then yields the following (leading to quitting of the software):

      Continuing.
      Couldn't get registers: No such process.

      Then when I want to quit gdb it still prints the warning

      A debugging session is active.

      Inferior 1 [process 10838] will be killed.

      Quit anyway? (y or n)

      but the only useful to do I seem to find is to just quit.
