Description
Navigation app crashes during HMI switching pages with different navigation widgets. HMI is a wayland server, Navigation application is a client both are based on Qt Wayland interface.
bt indicates a problem with Wayland client functionality:

I found the ticket https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-66997 with similar issue (the client crashed with debug output "The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?")
According to the comment in the ticket crash is happening because the client is blocking the GUI thread itself for a long time and no events will be read and the Wayland socket buffer will eventually fill up.
Wayland protocol has been fundamentally designed based on that no message will ever be dropped, and no message will ever be re-ordered. So there is no functionality to drop events in case of client blocked. When the socket buffer fills up, the client is disconnected (closed). There is no Wayland compositor crash, only client disconnection.
In QTBUG-66997 the code was created by Qt to confirm this suggestion (it's not a fix, the code description: "This patch works around it by also reading from the Wayland socket on a separate thread, to make sure it doesn't overflow even when the GUI is blocked."): https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/224622/
The test was passed sussesfully with this hack. So the root cause of the issue is the client socket buffer overflow.
The same issue was observed on Musicbrainz Picard app, it crashed during a long audio file importing. It was fixed here https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1625 by inserting additional QCoreApplication.processEvents() to make client responsive while doing long operations.
- Is this issue the same as
QTBUG-66997? Since https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/224622/ is "a horrible hack" will be there a fix for this issue from Qt? - Is this a real solution made by Musicbrainz Picard? could it resolve the problem in Navigation app?
