Qt : Segfault when zooming on QGraphicsDropShadowEffect

Question

I've been experiencing a really weird bug recently:

Often when I zoom too much on a QGraphicsItem (using scale on the view containing it) that has a QGraphicsDropShadowEffect on it, my app closes with a segmentation fault (core dumped) error.

What's weird is that:

1. I use Python (with the PySide binding)
2. If I remove the QGraphicsDropShadowEffect , the bug disappears

I also had to remove the QGraphicsDropShadowEffect on a relatively big item because it got the app so slow to the point it became irresponsive when I zoomed a bit too much.

Do anyone know how I could fix this ?

Answer 1

This may or may not help but when I encountered this the only thing that helped was reinstalling/updating pyside. I thought the fixed that bug a while back however.
